Felony fraud charges have been filed against former OSU basketball star Desmond Mason. The charges stem from accusations that Mason took over $50,000 from four victims for promised artwork but failed to deliver. Mason allegedly collected various amounts ranging from $1,300 to $37,500 but ceased communication after receiving payment.
