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.
