A judge has ruled that Chiefs superfan Xavier Babudar, known as Chiefsaholic, must pay $10.8 million to Payton Garcia, a former Oklahoma bank teller he threatened during a 2022 robbery.

In December 2022, Babudar was apprehended for robbing the Tulsa Teachers Credit Union. He threatened Garcia with a pistol, demanding "the 100s" under the threat of shooting her in the head.

While on bail, Babudar removed his monitoring device, evading police for four months.

Currently held at Leavenworth Federal Prison, he awaits sentencing, which is scheduled for July. NBC Sports noted.

Babudar, who confessed to a series of bank robberies across seven states, faces a hefty restitution order despite his current financial struggles.

Legal Ramifications and Emotional Toll

In February 2024, Babudar admitted to robbing 11 banks in the Midwest, leading to a lawsuit by Garcia.

The judge awarded Garcia $10.8 million, emphasizing that Babudar should not profit from his criminal acts.

Babudar faces the prospect of a lengthy prison sentence, with a maximum term of 50 years without parole, to be determined in July.

Garcia's attorney, Frank Frasier, stressed the significance of preventing Babudar from benefiting financially from his crimes, according to Yahoo! News.

While the likelihood of collecting the damages remains uncertain due to Babudar's incarceration and restitution obligations, Frasier highlighted the importance of the judgment in denying Babudar any future financial gains from his notoriety.

"This judgment will follow him, no documentary, no books, no made-for-tv movie, no reality shows, no reality prison shows... My client will be a consideration if there's financial gain from now on," Frasier remarked.

"The second part overall is this: The judge sent a message that you cannot profit from crime. You cannot profit by greater notoriety; you cannot profit from clicks, getting more views, getting more likes."

Babudar's Persona and Criminal Activities

Chiefs Superfan Xavier Babudar, 29, gained fame as Chiefsaholic on social media platforms like X and Instagram, projecting an image of a passionate sports fan with a penchant for gambling. However, an ESPN investigation uncovered the discrepancy between his online persona and his criminal activities.

His arrest in December 2022 followed a robbery at a credit union in Bixby, Oklahoma, where he threatened Garcia with a CO2 pistol.

Despite being released on bond in February 2023, Babudar eluded authorities for nearly four months before being captured in California.

While Babudar awaits sentencing at Leavenworth Federal Prison, Garcia continues to grapple with the aftermath of the traumatic event.

 Frasier emphasized the profound impact on Garcia's life, including her career and personal relationships.

"This has affected her children, her marriage... She'll never be able to go back to work in banking. [It affected] all aspects of her life," Frasier stated.

As Chief Superfan Xavier Babudar faces the legal consequences of his actions, the judgment sends a clear message that crime should not lead to financial gain, underscoring the importance of accountability and restitution in the justice system.
