'He expressed sincere remorse and took full responsibility for his actions,' Swab said. Babudar already was serving more than 17 years in federal prison for a string of 11 bank robberies across seven states where he stole nearly $850,000 to finance his social media stardom. Swab said the robberies also were the result of a gambling addiction. Tulsa County District Attorney Steve Kunzweiler had sought life in prison for Babudar. 'He is a serial robber who traumatized these victims and numerous other victims across this country,' Kunzweiler said in a statement. Tulsa County District Judge Michelle Keely ordered Babudar's 32-year sentence to run concurrently to his federal sentence, which means after he is released from federal prison he will be transferred to state custody to serve his remaining 14 years. Babudar developed a following on his ↕ChiefsAholic account on the social platform X after attending games dressed as a wolf in Chiefs gear. His avid support of the Chiefs became well known on social media.
