Court documents show Babudar laundered much of the stolen money through area casinos and online gambling.

Babudar was first arrested on Dec. 16, 2022, following a robbery of a credit union near Tulsa, Okla., several days before the Chiefs were to play in Houston against the Texans.

According to court documents, Babudar cut his ankle monitor and fled as he awaited trial in Oklahoma. The same documents show he disappeared days after a casino paid him $100,000 in Super Bowl winning bets he made on the Chiefs for the 2022 season.

He was on the run for several months before his arrest in Sacramento, California in July 2023.

Federal court documents released after Babudar’s arrest in California accuse Babudar of robbing financial institutions throughout 2022 to finance his life by attending Kansas City Chiefs games and other exclusive events.
