Federal officials have unveiled multiple indictments charging more than 30 people in connection to a wide-reaching illegal gambling scheme that allegedly involved current and former NBA players as well as members of New York's organized crime families.
Dozens of defendants, including Portland Trail Blazers coach Chauncey Billups, Miami Heat guard Terry Rozier and former NBA player Damon Jones, have been charged with crimes including conspiracy to commit wire fraud, money laundering, illegal gambling, and extortion.
The charges stem from separate but related federal investigations into rigged illegal poker games that reportedly involved members of the Bonanno, Gambino and Genovese organized crime families and a sports betting conspiracy that exploited confidential information about the NBA, Joseph Nocella Jr., U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of New York said at a news conference on Oct. 23. Three people are charged in both illegal operations, Nocella said.
