Grappling Report: Blue belt allegedly steals $2M to fund BJJ habit

This week’s grappling report kicks off with the most bizarre BJJ story I have ever read. We all know how over zealous blue belts can be, but this guy takes the cake. According to a report from grapplinginsider.com, Aaron Baslangic, an executive of a large Australian firm has been arrested for fraud spiraling out to $2 million AUD.

According to the report, Mr Baslangic was obsessed with BJJ and competing. To continue his development in the sport, Baslangic regularly flew internationally to compete. And it appears he was scheduled to compete at this weekend’s IBJJF World Masters before he was arrested.
