Andrew Moss Of Onyx Sports Group Indicted

Onyx Sports Group claims that it is not just a “player factory”.  On its web page, only one golfer is listed under its Golf division.  While Onyx may not be a player factory, its CEO, Andrew Moss, has been indicted for blowing a bunch of smoke at his golf client and a sponsor.  The client, Scott Yancy III, received $10,000 from the endorsement and Moss took $40,000.  Seems like an interesting split to me.  I have never heard of any agent taking 80% on endorsement deals.  There seems to be more to the story, but it definitely seems a little odd to me at this point.  I think the federal court that issued the indictment would agree.
