Kansas City Chiefs superfan “ChiefsAholic” was sentenced to nearly two decades in prison after admitting he led a double life as a prolific ski-mask-wearing bank robber with a haul of $847,725 he used to fund his Chiefs Kingdom lifestyle.

Xaviar Michael Babudar, 30, was sentenced to 17 ½ years in federal prison without parole, the U.S. Attorney’s Office announced in a news release.

“While parading as a social media celebrity, the defendant secretly engaged in a violent crime spree of armed robberies and attempted robberies across seven states,” said U.S. Attorney Teresa Moore. “Babudar’s robbery spree bankrolled the expensive tickets and travel across the country to attend Kansas City Chiefs games while he cultivated a large fan base online. However, the bank and credit union employees whom he terrorized at gunpoint suffered the brunt of his true nature. He tried to flee from justice, but law enforcement caught up with him and now he will spend a significant portion of his life in prison.”
