   OKLAHOMA CITY — An Oklahoma judge ordered a Kansas City Chiefs superfan   
   known as “ChiefsAholic” who admitted to a series of bank robberies to pay   
   $10.8 million to a teller who was assaulted with a gun, though attorneys   
   say the teller may never collect any money.   
      
   A judge in Tulsa handed down the order last week against Xaviar Michael   
   Bubudar, 29, who was known for attending Chiefs games dressed as a wolf in   
   the NFL team’s gear. Former bank teller Payton Garcia alleged Bubudar used   
   a gun to assault her during a robbery of a Bixby, Oklahoma, credit union   
   in December 2022, court records show.   
      
   The judge ordered Bubudar to pay Garcia $3.6 million for her injuries and   
   loss of income, and $7.2 million in punitive damages. A message left   
   Tuesday with Bubudar’s attorney was not immediately returned.   
      
   Garcia’s attorney, Frank Frasier, acknowledged that it would be difficult   
   to collect the money for his client, but said the judgment sends an   
   important message.   
      
   “I think the judge feels that way,” Frasier told The Associated Press.   
   “She did not come right out and say it during the hearing, but I argued   
   that nobody should be able to profit from this, be it notoriety, clicks,   
   views or likes.”   
      
   Frasier said if Bubudar ever sold his story, wrote a book or was somehow   
   able to profit from his story, his client would be able to collect some of   
   the judgment against him.   
      
   Although tellers have sued their employers over bank robberies before,   
   it’s far less common for them to sue a robber.   
      
   Ed Blau, a prominent criminal defense attorney in Oklahoma City, said   
   that’s because it’s safe to assume bank robbers aren’t generally wealthy.   
   Blau, who is not affiliated with Garcia’s case, said that while it’s   
   strategically savvy for Garcia to sue Bubudar, it’s unlikely she will ever   
   collect much from him.   
      
   “She could have gotten a judgment for $10 billion, but the likelihood of   
   collecting is exceedingly slim,” he said. “She’s got a judgment on paper   
   only.”   
      
   Bubudar pleaded guilty in February to a string of robberies of banks and   
   credit unions in multiple states. He remains imprisoned until his formal   
   sentencing, which is set for July 10 in Kansas City.   
      
   Federal prosecutors said Babudar admitted to the robberies and attempted   
   robberies in 2022 and 2023 and to laundering the stolen money through   
   casinos and online gambling.   
      
   As part of the plea agreement, Babudar must pay at least $532,675 in   
   restitution. He also must forfeit property — including an autographed   
   painting of Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes that was recovered by the   
   FBI.   
      
   Before his arrest, Babudar was a well-known figure on social media for his   
   rabid support of the Chiefs, and attended several games dressed as a wolf   
   in Chiefs’ clothing.
