So it's getting really spicy out there. The Wall Street Journal has the details according to the Wall Street Journal.
More than 30 people, including Portland Trailblazers head coach Chauncey Billups and Miami Heat guard Terry Rozier, were charged on Tuesday as part of a sweeping investigation into illegal gambling, rigged poker games and match fixing in the NBA.
Federal prosecutors unveiled an indictment against more than two dozen defendants that outlined a nationwide scheme backed by organized crime families to run corrupt poker games and lure in victims by offering them a chance to play alongside figures, including Chauncey Billups and a former player and former NBA player and assistant coach Damon Jones.
The revelations instantly ranked among the most damaging in NBA history, throwing into question the integrity of the NBA product just six years after the NBA opened its doors to the lucrative legalized gambling industry. I want to get to that in a moment, the legalized gambling portion of all of this. There are really two indictments. So indictment number one has to do with actual game fixing.
That indictment charged six defendants, including Rozier, with a criminal betting scheme using insider information and performance manipulation to profit off NBA games. This would be what you would consider to be normal game fixing, typical game fixing. Apparently, Rozier would take himself out of games at a certain point in order to make the under in terms of minutes played or points scored.
