From that article

Quote

There were other teams mentioned in the federal charges for illegal betting activity around their games, including the Orlando Magic. According to the government, a “regularly starting player” for the Magic told a gambler that the team planned to “tank,” or sit its starters, in an April 2023 game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The gambler allegedly sold the information to other known bettors to place bets against the Magic.

The Magic have not been contacted by the Department of Justice, a league source said, but the unnamed Orlando player named in the indictment is no longer on the team. The Magic’s statement, released when those sweeping charges were filed in October, said the player mentioned was believed to be out of the organization, and the NBA approved the team’s statement prior to its release, league sources said.

A few bad apples always have to ruin for everyone else. The occasional $5 prop bet on a lower tier player just for fun is really the only time I open my betting app.

Man gets 2-year prison sentence for role in NBA betting scandal

Quote

Timothy McCormack, a self-proclaimed gambling addict, received a two-year prison sentence Wednesday as he became the first defendant to be sentenced for his role in a sweeping conspiracy involving NBA players Terry Rozier and Jontay Porter.

A federal judge in Brooklyn handed down the sentence to McCormack, who defrauded sports betting platforms by using nonpublic information to place highly profitable wagers tied to the performance of NBA players allegedly in on the scheme.

I would imagine there is a good chance his career is over in the NBA.

Why Federal Conviction Rates Are So High (and What a Shreveport Defense Lawyer Does Differently)

Quote

The federal conviction rate is extraordinarily high. According to the latest data from the Pew Research Center, “[i]n fiscal year 2022, only 290 of 71,954 defendants in federal criminal cases – about 0.4% – went to trial and were acquitted,” while 1,379 went to trial and were found guilty. The Pew Research Center also reports that approximately 90 percent of federal criminal defendants plead guilty, which means the overall federal conviction rate is in the range of 92 percent.

did anyone expect beasley to come back?  the millionaire who is in debt and skipping out on rent is a shady character?  i'm stunned.

i wonder what games beasley was shaving points on?  i also wonder if the pistons did a background check before signing him?
