Former NBA player Jontay Porter faces federal felony charges for a sports betting scandal involving tipping off bettors about his health to underperform.
Former NBA player Jontay Porter, who was banned for life, is set to face federal felony charges connected to a sports betting scandal, according to court documents. The charges are linked to an existing prosecution of four men accused of using information from Porter to place lucrative bets on his performance in two games. Porter allegedly tipped off bettors about his health and exited games early, creating wins for those who bet on him to underperform expectations. The four men charged last month have not yet entered pleas and are accused of conspiracy to commit wire fraud.
