Black-ish writer Damilare Sonoiki (https://medium.com/black-media-minute/inside-the-black-ish-writers-room-with-damilare-sonoiki-transcript-3c80c0e59a), a Harvard grad who used to work for Goldman Sachs, has been charged with helping NFL player Mychal Kendricks in a $1.2 million insider trading scheme. Kendricks, a linebacker on the Cleveland Browns who was part of last season's Philadelphia Eagles Super Bowl championship team, was featured on last night's episode of HBO's Hard Knocks (https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2018/08/29/mychal-kendricks-gives-browns-and-everyone-else-a-scouting-report-on-eagles-offense/). In 2014, Sonoiki allegedly sent Kendricks, who was playing for the Eagles, inside information via text messages using the code word "cheesesteaks." (https://twitter.com/ryanjreilly/status/1034821644425080832) Kendricks issued a statement apologizing for his actions. "Four years ago, I participated in insider trading, and I deeply regret it. I invested money with a former friend of mine who I thought I could trust and who I greatly admired," Kendricks said in a statement, referring to Sonoiki. "His background as a Harvard graduate and an employee of Goldman Sachs gave me a false sense of confidence."
