US prosecutors charge more than 30 in NBA betting and poker investigations
Federal authorities charged more than 30 people in two investigations spanning 11 US states, alleging schemes involving NBA betting and rigged poker games. Prosecutors say people with access to team information shared details used to place wagers; the separate poker case alleges games were manipulated. The charges include allegations against current and former NBA personnel, including Terry Rozier, Chauncey Billups and Damon Jones.
The allegations concern misuse of non-public team information to influence betting on professional basketball.
