OMAHA, Neb.—A former adviser to Michael Vick and several NFL players accused of stealing $3 million in a Ponzi scheme has had her trial delayed until June.
Prosecutors charged Mary Wong of Omaha last summer with stealing $3 million from eight victims.
Prosecutors say Wong worked out of her Omaha home and purported to sell investments in luxury properties in Arizona, Tennessee and Michigan along with private jets and other investments. But she used the money she raised to support her other businesses and a lavish lifestyle.
Wong has pleaded not guilty to the charges. Her lawyer asked for the delay, which was approved earlier this month, because of the complexity of the case. More than 30 witnesses and 12,000 pages of documents are expected to be part of a trial.
