Chiefsaholic sentenced to 17.5 years in prison

The Chiefs superfan, also known as Chiefsaholic, has been convicted of a series of bank robberies, just hours before his favorite team begins the race for a third consecutive title.

According to multiple reports, Xaviar Babudar pleaded guilty earlier this year to money laundering, transporting stolen goods across state lines and bank robbery and was sentenced to 17.5 years in prison on Thursday in a federal court in Kansas City. Babudar’s attorneys had asked for a 10-year sentence, while prosecutors were seeking a 20-year sentence.

Babudar was first arrested in December 2022 after an armed robbery. He was released on bail, broke his bail and robbed more banks before being caught again in July 2023.

Babudar admitted to robbing more than $800,000 from banks as part of his plea agreement and has been ordered to pay more than $530,000 in restitution to his victims. He also faces a $10.8 million civil judgment after he was sued by a bank teller he threatened at gunpoint.
