Joe Smith accuses Moneice Slaughter of stealing $109,000 from him

Joe Smith dated Moniece Slaughter between 2011 and 2012. They broke up within 10 months of seeing each other. Smith recently accused Slaughter of stealing $109,000 from him while they were dating. During an appearance on Vlad TV, Smith accused her of forging his signature on checks.

"I get a call from my financial advisor, this is like you say after I retired, so they can see the money being withdrawn quickly now because there's not as much there in as it would be before," Smith said at the 1:20 mark in the video below. "So I get a call from my financial advisor and she's asking why am I writing all these checks."

Smith said he never used checks, and that's how he came to know about what went down with his money. He said he hired an investigator and found that Slaughter paid visits to the bank to cash these checks.

However, Joe Smith couldn't file charges in Los Angeles. He said it had become a hearsay case as Slaughter claimed to have received blank checks from the former NBA player.

Joe Smith, known to have suffered plenty of losses after earning $61 million in his playing career, never received the money back and isn't expecting it either.
