Pete Carey and Brandon Bailey, who have been following the William "Boots" Del Biaggio ((pictured, thanks Rick E. Martin/mercurynews.com)) case from the drop of the puck, come forward with news the Feds are filing charges against the man alledging a US$65-million fraud over a five-year period.

"Mr. Del Biaggio exploited his reputation and relationships to defraud numerous lenders and clients out of tens of millions of dollars, bankrolling his dream of owning a professional sports team and maintaining an extravagant lifestyle," said Marc Fagel, director of the Securities and Exchange Commission's regional office in San Francisco.

In addition to a complaint filed by the SEC in federal court, officials said the U.S. Attorney's office was also planning to file separate criminal charges against del Biaggio.
