Former Broncos quarterback John Elway and his business partner gave $15 million to a hedge-fund manager now accused of running a Ponzi scheme. The Denver Post reported Thursday that Elway and Mitchell Pierce filed a motion saying they wired the money to Sean Michael Mueller in March. A state investigator says 65 people invested $71 million with Mueller's company over 10 years and it only had $9.5 million in assets in April and $45 million in liabilities.
