Morris’s twin brother, Markieff Morris — also an NBA player — reacted to the arrest on social media. He wrote:

“The wording is crazy. Damn for that amount of money they’ll embarrass you in the airport with your family… Bro will tell y’all tomorrow. This weird s**t gave me a headache. Can’t stop nothin’!”

This is not the first time Marcus Morris has faced legal trouble. In 2012, he was involved in a battery case in which he allegedly hit a bar employee during a basketball game. In 2015, Marcus and his brother were charged with assault in connection with a physical altercation. Those charges were later dropped.

A former football player, Gerald Bowman, was also involved in the 2015 case. Despite these past incidents, Marcus Morris continued his professional basketball career with multiple NBA teams over the years.

As of now, details surrounding the fraud case have not been fully disclosed, and Morris is expected to address the situation soon.
