The scam began in September 2017 when Scott Spina contacted a former Patriots player via Instagram and offered to buy the Super Bowl LI ring
Spina posed as the player and ordered three rings with “Brady" engraved on them, claiming they were gifts for Brady's baby, prosecutors said.Spina then sold them in November 2017 to an auction house for $100,000 — much more than he’d paid for them, prosecutors said. At a 2018 auction, one ring sold for more than $337,000.
Spina has a federal court appearance in Los Angels next month. In addition to pleading guilty, Spina agreed to repay the former Patriots player who sold him the first ring.
