Overview
- Marcos Thomas Perez admitted in federal court to transporting and transferring stolen goods in interstate commerce after an FBI-led probe.
- Prosecutors say he stole more than 400 game-worn jerseys and other items from a secured room at the Kaseya Center earmarked for a future Heat museum.
- Over roughly three years, he sold more than 100 pieces across state lines for about $1.9–$2 million, often below market value.
- Agents executing an April 3 search recovered nearly 300 additional items from his home that the Heat confirmed were taken from their facility.
- Perez faces up to 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine, with one cited example showing a LeBron James Finals jersey he sold for about $100,000 later auctioning for $3.7 million.
