NFL superfan Chiefsaholic pleaded guilty to three charges in federal court on Wednesday due to his connection to several bank robberies across seven states from 2022-23.
Xaviar Babudar, known for wearing a grey wolf suit at Chiefs games at home and on the road, pleaded guilty to money laundering, transporting stolen property across state lines and bank robbery, with a sentencing hearing coming in July.
Babudar, 29, faces 50 years in prison for his crimes, which U.S. Attorney Teresa Moore called a “violent crime spree across the Midwest.”

“The defendant tried to conceal hundreds of thousands of dollars in stolen cash by using it to gamble online and at casinos, but the odds caught up with him,” Moore said in a release. “With today’s conviction, he will be held accountable for the full scope of his criminal conduct, including his attempt to flee from justice.”
As a part of the plea deal, Babudar will need to pay $532,675 in restitution to the victim’s financial institutions and also forfeit an autographed painting of Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes.
In November, Babudar pleaded not guilty to robbing the Tulsa Teachers Credit Union in Bixby, Oklahoma, after he was accused of pointing a black pistol at a bank teller and fleeing with $150,000 in December 2022.
Babudar was arrested in December 2022 and held in jail until February 2023, when he was released on bond.
He took his ankle monitor off and was on the run for about four months before being apprehended by the FBI in California, leading to Wednesday’s plea.
