Timothy McCormack sentenced to 2 years for betting on NBA games using insider info, first to be sentenced in case tied to former players.
Timothy McCormack was sentenced to two years in prison for using non-public information to place bets on NBA games, becoming the first defendant sentenced in a federal conspiracy linked to former players Terry Rozier and Jontay Porter.
Judge LaShann DeArcy Hall, citing McCormack’s lifelong gambling addiction and stating his actions don’t define him, imposed a lighter sentence than the four years prosecutors sought.
McCormack must report to prison on April 20 and serve one year of supervised release, during which he is banned from gambling, though travel to casinos is not restricted.
The case highlights concerns over sports integrity and gambling risks, prompting the NBA to emphasize player education and protections.
