“We already know what kind of woman you are. We are just haggling over price.”
Why would Chauncey do it?”
What is cognac and strippers ?
The loony left is already accusing the DOJ of doing this because of...you-know-who derangement. It is pure joy to see the RATz coming out of the dumbass closet in full nudity.
No one remembers the NBA scandal with the Atlanta Strip club, and Patrick Ewing had to testify on his racketeering?
And maybe the players got in hock to the mob (even with all their money it still happens) and had to go along with the scam to pay them off.
He obviously lost a substantial part of that fortune gambling. Remember when "Book of Virtues" scribe Bill Bennett lost some $8 million gambling at casinos. It is a great evil.
One of my conspiracy theories has long been that some major sporting events are rigged.
Greed and gambling have been the downfall of many.
And for years fans have been complaining about bad officiating and players not giving it all in both the NBA and NFL. Well I guess we have the answer now. The investigation will prove undoubtedly the NBA and the NFL have been throwing games for years.
This is way more important than the Epstein files.../s
As far as the Wise Guys threats...a guy like Billups has any number of Black gang bangers at his beck and call whose proficiency with violence makes the Wise Guys of today look like school crossing guards.
So how did he get caught up with them at all? Feeding info for betting on the NBA?
That was my first thought, they must have threatened him.
Didn’t any of them watch the Sopranos?
These BBall players like Jordan play for very high stakes and they may have cleaned him out. It is a very addictive habit.
mafia and sports’ betting is nothing new, there is always inside information and someone has to take the fall and lose.
I’m breaking down the NBA gambling scandal that just broke - Terry Rozier, Chauncey Billups, and 34 others arrested in a massive FBI operation targeting four of the five New York families. I ran 12 bookmakers for 30 years, so I know exactly how this works. Athletes are easy prey - they get in deep, owe money, then we own them. Rozier allegedly faked an injury to help inside bets. Billups was a “face card” luring victims into rigged poker games with X-ray tables and card counting devices. I’ve been warning the NBA, NCAA, and 300+ universities about this for decades. This won’t stop - gambling is too lucrative and the mob is too smart. Here’s the real story behind Operation Zen Diagram and Operation Nothing But Net from someone who lived it. -— Michael Franzese
