illegal gambling

Portland Trail Blazers coach Chauncey Billups and Miami Heat guard Terry Rozier were arrested by the FBI on Thursday as part of two separate illegal gambling-related cases, the FBI confirmed.

Billups, Rozier and former Cleveland Cavaliers player and assistant coach Damon Jones were among over 30 individuals arrested in connection with the FBI's probe. Four other individuals, Eric Earnest, Marves Fairley, Shane Hennen and Deniro Laster were named in the Department of Justice's indictment.

Billups and Rozier — the two individuals currently active in the NBA — were placed on immediate leave by the league Thursday.

The investigation took years and spanned 11 states, FBI director Kash Patel said Thursday.

I don't get the Rozier thing at all.
Dude makes $25 million per season. What could his cut possibly be to risk that?
And, he's made $160 million in his career.
The poker scam thing is even stranger. Connected with the mob?
The losses amounted to $7 million. Billups made 16 times that in his career, and that's the TOTAL.
His cut couldn't possibly justify this idiocy.
