A financial adviser who once played for the New York Giants threw his game plan out the window and pleaded guilty to fraud charges yesterday.
Clyde “Peter” Hall, who played one season as an end after being drafted in 1960, had been scheduled for trial in Manhattan federal court on charges he cheated investors out of millions.
But Hall, 70, abruptly pleaded guilty to conspiracy and wire fraud and was jailed pending sentencing in August, when he’ll face more than 27 years under federal guidelines.
The conviction is the latest in a string of penalties against the former gridder, who got off with only a $2,000 fine after pleading guilty to fraud in Detroit in the 1970s.
In recent years, he was also involved in a series of eviction proceedings from pricey apartments on the Upper West Side.
