Federal prosecutors indict six in alleged NBA sports betting scheme
US federal prosecutors indicted six people, including former NBA players Malik Beasley and Ed Davis, over an alleged sports betting scheme. The indictment alleges that participants sought to influence Beasley’s performance in games between December 2023 and April 2024 to support fraudulent wagers; the charges remain pending.
The case concerns alleged manipulation of player performance and wagering, a direct integrity risk for sports betting operators.
