Fun Fact

[chknwing]

As a change of pace from The Sky is Falling threads, heres a fun fact.  One of the biggest busts in Carolina draft history, and the worst 8th overall pick in NFL history, Tim Biakabutuka owns 3 Bojangles restaurants.  I guess JR was determined to make money off him one way or another.

Does he still own the jewlery stores?  He seems to be doing well.  Most of these guys are flat broke after leaving the NFL.

How would JR make money off that? JR sold his ownership in Bojangles corporate years ago.

Yeah. i think JR still owns some franchises but his capital group Falfurias capital sold Bojangles for a nice profit a couple years ago.

Umm no. JR isn't a part of Falfurias. Falfurious is a partnership capital group between two former BOA execs, neither of which are JR. JR was never the owner of the controlling interest in Bojangles. Falfurias sold their controlling interest to a Boston based company in 2011 and JR still holds his privately owned minority stake.

JR is/was a major investor and partner.

That may be but his stake in bojangles is privately held and wasn't a part of Falrurias' controlling interest. When Falfurias bought Bojangles, JR was part of the deal as a private minority investor in addition to whatever investment he had within the capital group.
