Pippen developed a reputation for being a poor tipper at restaurants, earning him the nickname "No Tippin' Pippen". Shortly after retiring, Pippen learned that Robert Lunn, a financial adviser whom he claimed had been recommended by the Bulls, was under investigation for bank fraud. He had invested over $20 million through Lunn, who was sentenced to three years in prison in March 2016 on multiple fraud counts, including one count of forging Pippen's signature on a $1.4 million loan that Lunn used to pay off personal debts.
