Eastern District of New York prosecutors charge six in alleged NBA betting scheme
The US Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of New York unsealed an indictment charging six people, including Miami Heat player Terry Rozier, with wire fraud and money laundering conspiracies tied to alleged illegal betting. Prosecutors allege that defendants used non-public information to place wagers; the defendants are due to be arraigned at a later date.
