Craig Carton
Authentic Steven Wright Jersey , 48, spoke outside Manhattan federal court after pleading not guilty to fraud charges in an indictment returned last week. He told reporters he entered the plea because he was ”unequivocally not guilty.”
The longtime co-host of WFAN’s ”Boomer and Carton” show was arrested in September on charges that he misappropriated at least $5.6 million from two investors in a ticket reselling business designed to raise millions of dollars so he could pay off gambling debts. Free on $500

”I was shocked when I was arrested and even more surprised that the government was accusing me of running a complete sham as they put it

He said prosecutors were wrong to say that a concert ticket reselling business was a scam. He said the business was licensed by the state of New York and that he bought and sold thousands of tickets and had deals in place to buy and sell many more tickets.
Carton also said the government told his lawyers about 10 days ago that he had a legitimate ticket selling business and that he’d been selling tickets for a long time.
”Unfortunately, the damage caused by the government’s false accusations cannot be undone

A spokesman for the government declined to comment on Carton’s remarks.
