An alleged reporting individual stated she transmitted a formal notice regarding Daejon Love to the San Francisco 49ers organization in December 2025 [cite: 1.1.1]. Federal prosecutors in the District of Oregon charged Love, 35, and Taylor Jamie Chan, 18, with wire fraud and conspiracy to commit wire fraud following August 24, 2026 arrests at Boise Airport [cite: 1.1.4]. Court documents state the fraudulent scheme ran from February 2022 through August 2026, wherein Love allegedly posed as a 49ers player and investor to extract approximately $1.3 million from 26 primary victims [cite: 1.1.4]. FBI disclosures indicate over 35 additional potential complainants have emerged [cite: 1.1.3]. Team representatives reportedly advised routing external legal inquiries to police authorities. Franchise and league records confirm zero employment or roster affiliation for the defendants [cite: 1.1.1]. Both suspects remain in federal custody [cite: 1.1.4].
