Alex Ovechkin's bank accounts frozen following accusations of crime

Alex Ovechkin has done a great job of staying out of controversy for the most part but recently he had his bank accounts frozen after failing to pay some taxes.

Recently Alex Ovechkin made headlines for all of the wrong reasons as he failed to pay some of his taxes resulting in his bank accounts being frozen.

A source close to Ovechkin explained the situation at hand.

Ovechkin makes an AAV of $9,500,000 based on his contract with the capitals and likely makes even more due to other ventures and investments such as his clothing brand. He will likely sort this out soon enough and will go back to be able to access his accounts.
