Former FIFA executive committee member and CONCACAF president Jack Warner was kicked out of FIFA in 2011 and has walked away from international soccer, but he’s still the man at the center of a lot of the U.S. Department of Justice’s investigation into corruption in the sport. And you know what? Dude isn’t scared at all.

Warner saw the writing on the wall. He got out before the stuff got real. Now the guys who didn’t know when to bail are getting arrested while Warner’s probably making money off some other hustle the DOJ doesn’t care about.
