Steelers receiver Hines Ward faces accusations in a civil lawsuit that he participated in the siphoning of roughly $1.5 million from a Pittsburgh business that he jointly owns. According to the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, Nicholas Lettieri, who owns the Locker Room Bar and Grille with Ward and Kimberly Pitts, claims that Pitts, her husband, and Ward failed to deposit cash receipts into company accounts, pocketing $1 million in profits. Lettieri also alleges that Ward and the Pittseses kept $500,000 in insurance proceeds.
"We don't know where the money went," said Lettieri's attorney, Bruce Fox, told theTribune-Review. "There's been a lot of money drained from the business."
