During an interview with basketball star Patrick Beverly on “The Pat Bev Podcast,” Miami Heat veteran Udonis Haslem was asked about the differences between living in America and Europe by co-host Rone. As a result, Haslem would recount tales of his few arrests throughout Europe, having stayed in France to play hoops prior to signing with the Heat franchise.
The plot would center on Haslem, who played basketball for Chalon-Sur-Saône from 2002 to 2003, getting into a vehicle accident while traveling to practice. As he explained to Beverley and his co-host, Haslem himself admitted that he was arrested at practice despite the language barrier between him and the police officer.
On the program that aired on Wednesday, Haslem stated, “The first time I was just driving and I got in a car accident, and I was on my way to practice.” “The gym is right there, so I just had to walk there for about two minutes.” He was speaking French when I got into an argument with him. We weren’t getting any f—-ing where, and I was speaking English. Since the team’s name is on the vehicle, I decide to just fuck it and let them know where I am. I have ten minutes to make it to practice. I was taken to jail by that motherf—-er when she arrived to practice.
After being undrafted while playing for the University of Florida, Haslem spent nine months in France. He attributes his experience there to helping him become an unrecognizable player and preparing him for the NBA spotlight.
Before establishing a legacy with the Heat, Udonis Haslem shares another arrest experience.
Haslem would also narrate a second tale, though, about a time when he was detained for participating in a current strike when he was with his aunt.
According to Haslem, “the second time they were going through a transportation strike, so buses and trains were shut down, they were striking.” Another occasion when one of our leaders made a remark regarding french fries was when it happened. Thus, many people were yelling in the street during that strike, “Americans go home.” They were yelling, “Americans go home,” while my aunt and I were driving around when they refused to move out of the way of our automobile. My aunt is now saying, “All right, I’m going to take you mother f—-ers with us.”My mother f—-ers got me locked up once more.
As previously said, Haslem’s brief career stint in France had a significant role in shaping him into the player who has been an asset to the Heat for the previous 20 seasons. With the most rebounds in Heat history and a place among the all-time leaders in minutes played (second), games played (second), and field goals made (fifth), he is among the best in Heat history.

Jimmy Butler, a player for the Miami Heat, and Ben Armstrong, a YouTube influencer, have agreed to pay $340,000 to resolve a case in which it was claimed they assisted in tricking investors into purchasing unregistered assets from Binance Holdings Limited, the company running the biggest cryptocurrency exchange in the world. As part of the deal, Armstrong and Butler admitted no wrongdoing, according to court documents. The deal was filed in federal court in Miami on Monday, and U.S. District Judge Roy Altman will now choose whether to grant preliminary approval. After months of negotiations, the agreement was struck with the help of mediator Michael Hanzman, a retired Miami-Dade Circuit Judge.
Following a final hearing where buyers of Binance’s unregistered securities will have a chance to comment on the settlement, Altman will then consider approving it. The case was brought against Butler, Armstrong (also known as BitBoy Crypto), Binance, and co-founder Changpeng Zhao last year. According to the lawsuit, they tricked investors into purchasing tokens and cryptocurrencies, such as Binance’s own BNB token, even though they were illegally unregistered securities.
In a $4 million settlement with the Justice Department last year, Binance Holdings Limited and Zhao admitted to violating anti-money laundering laws and U.S. sanctions, allowing Binance.com, a cryptocurrency exchange, to stay operational. AVENTURA ADMITS GUILTY TO WIRE DECEPTION Austin Michael Taylor, the owner of CLU LLC, an Aventura-based corporation, and the creator of the cryptocurrency project CluCoin, entered a guilty plea to wire fraud in a Miami federal court earlier this month. Taylor, 40, will be sentenced on October 31 and could spend up to 20 years behind bars.
He was charged with exploiting his substantial social media following to spark interest in a digital token he was going by the name “CLU,” while simultaneously moving $1,140,000 in funds belonging to CluCoin investors to his own account. According to the prosecution, Taylor advertised CLU’s ICO at a fundraiser where participants traded their existing cryptocurrency holdings for a brand-new digital token. They said that in an effort to draw investors, Taylor wrote a white paper outlining the philanthropic goals of the initial coin offering.
Prosecutors from the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Miami and the Justice Department in Washington state that Taylor founded CluCoin in 2021 and later directed it toward various endeavors, such as non-fungible tokens, a video game, and a metaverse platform.
