For those of you hoping he goes down, time is ticking. This is from The Athletic.

The 63-year-old Haslam, who serves as Pilot’s CEO, has not been charged and has denied any wrongdoing in a case in which 14 other company executives and employees have pleaded guilty.
It doesn’t mean Haslam is completely in the clear just yet — either under federal law or the long arm of NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell. The findings of the jury trial, set to resume Jan. 10 and likely to stretch into late February, could potentially impact his status as Browns owner.
But nothing that’s transpired to this point in the trial would appear to place him in serious jeopardy in terms of the law or with the league. Obviously, that can change with a bombshell development. It’s important to note, however, the government has had nearly five years to bring charges against Haslam. And barring extraordinary circumstances, the statute of limitations is set to expire April 15, sources have indicated to The Athletic.
In other words, the government is running out of time to make a case against Haslam.
