Kash will find a way to efff this case up. Think he'll similarly be investigating insider trading at the White House?
In the meantime, any chance the leagues do a 180 on widespread gambling because it's so bad for the sanctity of the game? Bill Bradley must be on a porch somewhere, rocking and shaking his cane...
They should be investing Pelosi, Dan Goldman, Schumer… the usual suspects for insider trading.
I think a bill was once passed after the Bush crash but they secretly revoked it. This guy has been pardoning every convicted criminal so these guys have hope.
I just don't get. Chauncy Billups made more than $107 million in the NBA as a player. He was making $2 million per year as a coach. How much is enough?
Why risk it?
if you want to know the answer.
go to michael franzese youtube, and this will enlighten completely.
So on brand for this administration. As opposed to, say, investigating insider trading in Congress - on both sides of the aisle - with anything approaching the vigor that they are doubtlessly bringing to this investigation
So brand for someone with TDS. The investigation started in 2023.

Why is gambling illegal? NBA is totally in bed with Draft Kings and Fan Duel.
At least Rose wasn’t sick or dumb enough to believe men could be women. Since he always bet on the Reds to win he wasn’t like Arnold Rothstein. 🥸😏
He threw games as a manager to pay off his gambling debts. That’s what got him the lifetime ban. Otherwise, yeah.
I think he only bet on the reds, but by only betting on them for certain games, he might make decisions to save pitchers if he wanted them available for a different game or use them if he needed to win

This was my thought. I have enough money to be comfortable but I'm far from wealthy and I would never do anything illegal to make extra money.

What's wrong with these guys?
I saw a video on social media a few months ago, it was some guy asking a bunch of absurdly privileged athletes if 5 million dollars was enough to be set for life and the answers were comical. Not only did not a single athlete believe it was, they were almost indignant to the question.
Assuming this is 5 million dollars of liquid cash, (ie. it's taxed, it's yours) it's the equivalent of 110k a year net - which roughly equates to an annual salary of 170k a year and that is from age 20 to age 65. That's enough to pay $3500 a month for a mortgage, make a car payment, put money into the market or another savings. Never forget that the average American household income is right at half that figure (85k). You'll have a home, a car, food on your table. No you aren't living the high life, but you are comfortable and certainly aren't suffering. Oh and by the way, you would have the most precious and valuable thing of all - your time.
Point being, this is what is wrong with these guys. Once you have been privileged enough to make the money they have and for doing what in the grand scheme of life is just a leisure activity/past time, no amount of money is ever enough. It should be clear by now that human brain chemistry isn't really suitable to handle excess and money brings out the worst in that concept.

How do you know he did it for money? Maybe he did it for the thrill or excitement. Maybe he wanted to be a bad guy like the others...
The Mafia has been running illegal high stakes poker games since at least the days of Frank Sinatra. The charges relate to two different reoccurring games that were being run by La Costa Nostra (mafia) members from at least 3 different crime families.
It's illegal to operate a private poker game that has proceeds in excess of 2000 dollars and/or if the games happen often. Both were true in this case.
Not only were the games themselves illegal, but within the games, the mob guys were using advanced technology- such as glasses or contact lenses that let them see secret markings on cards, to ensure that people who played in these games always lost big in the long run.
Billups was paid to attend poker games and to bring other rich people with him, so they could be cheated out of money. The total amount stolen as cited by the indictment document is at least 7.15 million dollars- not exactly chump change. And I got the impression from reading that the Feds only knew of the losses from people who privately came forward, not because they were actually tracking the total earnings which could easily have been much much higher.

He most likely didn't. Sounds like some nonsense. Just like this adminstration charging two women with mortgage fraud.

Yah...Everyone is out to get black people...I stubbed my toe this morning and it's because some white guy made the sidewalk crooked so black people would trip.
