Kansas City Chiefs enthusiast “ChiefsAholic” receives 32-year sentence in Oklahoma for bank heist.
A Tale of Regret and Responsibility
Some stories stick with you. It’s like when you hear about someone who had it all going, only to watch it unravel because of choices that – well, maybe they seemed harmless at the start.
“He expressed sincere remorse and took full responsibility for his actions,” said Swab. The person in question? Babudar. Once a name associated with a lively presence on social media, especially among Chiefs fans, now entangled in a web of his own making.
From Fame to Infamy
Babudar was already serving a substantial sentence – more than 17 years in federal prison. Not for just one mistake, but a series of them: 11 bank robberies across seven states. You do the math; that’s nearly $850,000 taken. Why? To fuel what some might call an addiction to social media fame – but Swab mentioned gambling played a role too. It’s one of those tales where ambition meets downfall.
On social media, Babudar was something of a character – attending games decked out in full Chiefs gear, complete with a wolf costume. People loved him for it; he was the die-hard fan who wore his passion on his sleeve (and face).
A Fresh Set of Charges
Then came another twist in the story. In July of 2023, Babudar was arrested again, this time in Sacramento. More charges: bank theft and transporting stolen property across state lines in federal court. It makes you wonder – was he hoping to regain that lost spotlight? Or perhaps it was just another chapter in his complex story?
The thing is, people can be drawn to the spotlight for all sorts of reasons. And sometimes, like Babudar, they take paths that lead them far from where they started. Maybe it’s a reminder that our choices echo further than we think.

Stories like these often leave you pondering the fine line between fame and notoriety – how quickly one can turn into the other and what that means for those watching from the sidelines. In this case, Babudar’s tale is both a cautionary one and a testament to the complexities behind social media stardom.
