Prosecutors allege ex-NBA player Terrence Williams orchestrated the scheme to rip off the league’s health benefits plan by filing fake claims, and recruited other players by offering fake invoices. They submitted nearly $4 million worth of claims, according to the indictment.

The NBA is still around?
This lady is Joe Bidens biggest supporter. I see her everywhere lol
Nba is still around, are you living under a rock? 🤣
Why I got the feeling that accusation of them was racially-motivated than anything else because they are black men
Why aren’t the lawyers, and doctors being mentioned in these allegations. 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
They are all thieves that get pampered while poor people’s insurance rates sky rocket to cover their crimes..
Race has nothing to do with it .
Only a bleeding heart liberal would inject race into this though.
These millionaires raise your insurance to cover their crimes
Does that not bother you..
Relax. It’s not a race thing, it’s a right and wrong thing. They committed crimes, on purpose, and got caught. You have no defense, so you use the race card. That’s cowardly
@Marquise Mcclinton because the claims were never paid out!
It’s beyond that, it’s another “distraction” from the real problems . Anyone who sided with the “medical system” is a pawn.
Why do this if they make millions
When you’re really hustling, it’s never enough.
People are animals and animals can do anything in life
Because bribing your way through life, and lying about certain things – like winning in Vietnam and progress in Afghanistan – appears to have become “the American Way.”
Really sad.
Because they blow those millions on frivolous things and end up completely broke because they’ve never taken education seriously as long as they can jump higher or run faster or actually do a real job because they have been pampered their whole lives whether it’s a free college education that they don’t take advantage of or because everyone in their family has always told them how great they are at a child’s sport so their family members can easily pluck that money right out of their hands once they hit the big time.
Let’s go Brandon
Still waiting since 1964 to have my adoption nullified. And take back my legal birth certificate. Several law enforcement, the AG of CA., and the ACLU are a few organizations that have been informed.
C’mon … like they don’t have enough money!?!
They don’t have money. They’re either scapegoats or struggling masons.
The NBA is a complete joke.
NBA CORRUPTION
The more they get the MORE WANT they R like graveyards never gets enough..u will be caught there is invisible eye watching ur every move
@Shirley Lambey Endless greed is a problem
Disgusting … These men had fantastic sports positions and made bucket loads of money. To screw with the medical system like this is pure greed. Prosecute them fully.
Total waste of time. To get potential jail time over this trivial cheapskate nonsense is absurd, and distracts from more important issues Total waste of time. Now, what about the pentagon pornograpghy, nxivm cult, child trafficking case , Ben Franklin being a potential serial killer, coming utopian Chinese communism surveillanced societal post reset model and
LAST but not least seemingly Pandora papers release.
Did I miss anything.
The real fraud is the company’s 😂
True the insurance company s are corrupt and dirty all the way to the top
They claimed that requiring insurance to be mandatory years ago would regulate the business and keep premiums low
This was a huge lie
Insurance premiums have soared on poor people and continued to rise every year
as the wealthy pay nothing
and they raise our cost to pay their bills
The real fraud is trying to stick it to the man for
$4,000,000.00. They shall reap what they sow, down the river
They are incredibly stupid…and greedy. They all deserve to go to jail. Instead of making a difference in their communities, investing, going to school, starting businesses…these idiots participate in a healthcare scheme…Ridiculous.
Hey guys.
I have gone through tough times especially with the pandemic at hand. My family is in serious need of financial assistance. And it will be great if you could send $50-$200 please. Our family would very well appreciate a helpful donation.
Big Baby got caught with weed now this. Please yall if you make it to the league save and invest. Don’t blow the money on houses and cars or else you’ll resort to this bs. Tony Allen made millions. Smh.
Playing in a Nuclear Sandbox
The AUKUS Nuclear Submarine Deal, in which the US and the UK will sell nuclear submarine building technologies to Australia so it can build its own nuclear subs, has made big waves over the past two weeks. There has been much ado over France taking offense with Australia for walking out of a nearly done deal with it to buy similar technology. A lot of money is involved, but pride is more a factor here than money. The frightening thing here is not the nuclear submarines themselves, but the fact that the parties are behaving like kids in a sandbox squabbling over a toy shovel. But in this case, it is a nuclear toy, and the ramifications of these games will impact all eight billion of us.
The bad news is that you cannot stop this madness. If you don’t have nuclear subs, you are powerless and cannot stop those who have them. If you do have nuclear subs, you are powerful and you don’t want to stop.
If an alien came to Earth and watched what is going on here, it would say that our only interest in life is war-games. Moreover, war defines our life here, and the fact that we could end our existence at the press of a button is no one’s concern as long as we can keep playing.
In the 1950s, Baal HaSulam wrote that if humanity doesn’t understand that we cannot live in such a state indefinitely, that we must shift to a considerate way of life where we are responsible for one another, then more world wars will follow and teach us the hard way. “If the total ruin that [nuclear and hydrogen bombs] are destined to bring upon the world is still not evident to the world, they can wait for a third world war, or a fourth one. The bombs will do their thing, and the relics who remain after the ruin will have no other choice but to take upon themselves this work where both individuals and nations will not work for themselves more than is necessary for their sustenance, while everything else they do will be for the good of others,” he wrote in The Writings of the Last Generation.
In the 1950s, everyone was still in shock by the devastation that Little Boy and Fat Man inflicted on Hiroshima and Nagasaki (respectively). But eighty years down the line, the possibility of another nuclear episode seems increasingly plausible. Those two monster bombs may have shocked the world then, but they are nothing compared to the nuclear arsenal that countries have developed since. Moreover, so many countries already possess nuclear weapons that I am not even sure if or how many of us will survive a nuclear world war.
The options are clear and simple: Unite, or the Earth will explode.
If we consider the level of animosity among nations, ethnicities, cultures, religions, or even among regular people, it seems impossible to unite. But this is so only because we are letting our baleful egos drive us to this state. We can decide to let another attitude drive us, a more responsible and considerate one.
If we think only of ourselves, there is no question that a total collapse is just a matter of time. Now that we are approaching it, we can see where we are going and change course. We can determine that we have learned the lesson and start looking at the needs of the entire society as well as our own.
No one says we need to go hungry or deny ourselves the things we need. But if we all strive to take as much as possible rather than as much as we need, we will end up having nothing.
Caring for the well-being of the collective, as well as for our own, is neither an altruistic approach nor an impractical one. It is, in fact, the only realistic and practical approach. This is the only tactic that will allow us to avoid a war that will destroy humanity.
….basketball….
Did they do it because they were soooooo oppressed🙄
The day will come when all people like you will be made to prove it.
@ZuluTime Productions prove what? What you said makes no sense
Athletes should never be looked up to as role models. Most are morally bankrupt prima donnas.
this will break them all…….innocent until the money runs out…..your going to do some time
Lmfaoo you don’t usually do time for this type of crime. 18 players what stole 200k each? That’s probation time. Not prison. Alongside paying restitution. So yeah it will break them possibly. Won’t do time though.
They thought it was a PPP loan
They are dumb. You don’t play around US Big Company Money they will search the WORLD to get you and their money back. US can seize assets of anybody in the world and they thought they can scam US companies?
https://youtube.com/c/SpecialBooksbySpecialKids 👹🎠🎠🎠🤐🤐
More winning to any financial backers that contribute with 👆 I just got my benefit of 2BTC from them, thanks guys.
Dumb with a capital D
What? These pampered multimillionaires are just trying to make ends meet.😵Obscene in this time of hardship & hunger.
Don’t forget to throw the talking heads in MSM into that category. One name that sticks out is Rachel Maddow. She cries and bemoans the fact about the poor poor homeless people that she could do so much for on her smallish, $7,000000 yearly salary that she gets for just stating an opinion. I agree with some of her opinions but she gets a salary like that while I as a decorated and disabled and elderly veteran plugs along on my monthly income of less than $1,100.
For those of you who think this isn’t a big deal…
Yes it is it’s HUGE
These spoiled millionaires and billionaires rip off the insurance company s who are already over charging us across the board on every single claim we insure with them..
The insurance company s Get their money back by raising the prices on John Q taxpayers
All this crap about regulating and making insurance mandatory is yet another way these elites wealthy types get out of paying for anything
While they make it a Law for us to have to have insurance on our health and our cars and our property s
The wealthy never have to pay outrageous insurance premiums on anything
Considering that big pharma is setup to make us sick and keep us sick and in debt
Does these insurance company s not seem like co conspirators as they charge us a fortune on insurance then more times than not they refuse to cover our costs..with loopholes that the insurance company s and big pharma have put in the fine print
That requires us to pay even more out of our own pockets
Why do we have insurance if we still end up paying out of our pockets
Insurance company s are a Ripoff
Only the wealthy get Real coverage
Everyone else pays higher rates to cover their cost
Now watch these NBA players start GoFundMe accounts to cover the cost of their Legal fees
These spoiled idiots never pay for anything out of their own pockets
Lol… man this is hilarious. I guess this is why black people want to defund the police.
HOLD UP WAIT JUST A MINUTE HERE..The insurance Industry must be expecting a huge wave of new claims soon… So now they are playing victim to get ahead of it which will make it easier for them to apply their dirty tactics …. Why does MSM never ever ever… Talk about the fraud insurance companies do against PEOPLE everyday …. About how they rather spend more money on NOT helping instead of just helping …. About the Dirty Tactics they use Delay after Delay … Criminalizing their claimants Especially the Black ones… Giving low-ball settlements to Black and Brown and lower class white Claimants even the tv commercials from Ambulance Chasers show Black and Brown people getting lower settlements than White….
🤦🏾♂️
THIS LOOKS FAMILIAR= TUPAC, NIPSEY, MJ, R. KELLY from MUSIC Now SPORTS
They’re careers are over… Hope it was worth it… 🤔
CAN THESS LAWYERS have TRUMP /BANNON, etc…… INDICTED , FOUND GUILTY & put IN Prison! ????
Only a matter of time and all that is done in the dark will soon be on the house top of exposure…The rich N famous thinks to be untouched..But the Lord God is the final judge!!!
Good. They should be caught and prosecuted. Now, let’s go after the politicians.
How can you get a fake chiropractor’s bill?
And let’s not forget billionaire Jeannie buss getting a five million dollar business loan during the pandemic, which should have went to smaller businesses. Cheapskates are all income Brackets and poor amd wealthy alike.
She has a business lmao. Small businesses got loans too.
@Cam your right or an extent., but what companies did not get the loan because she got that five million.
You know what she did was wrong.
She was being greedy and potentially fraudulent. That was my point was valid and you know it was.
Let’s not forget the wealthy couple in Minnesota that was buying stollen high end clothes in the past.
@Cam and if billionaire jeannie buss is dumb and cheap enough to risk possible fraud for $5 million, what other grey lines has her holdings crossed.
She is no worse than the dumb nba players. My only point. Forgot to include that .
@gerome bennett wait did her business not need the loan? If her businesses didn’t then true she isn’t any better.
@Cam respectfully, it was greed, plain and simple. You know my point.
Lol, mlk would be proud
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Millions of dollars and you act like this 💩💩💩💩💩
They need houses, cars, car repairs, home repairs, family problems. The list goes on. You have to keep up with the lifestyle you live. Making money only makes you more excited to spend it. If you gave a 100 random middle class people a million dollars. They will lose that money within 2yrs.
Never forget Kobe assaulted a woman! Just like ben Roethlisberger!
they did it for the perks and codeine addictions lol
rich man high
Black Lives Matter….just don’t get caught.
They have to repay + fine and community service in a community hospital for the entire basketball season. That will send out a signal.
Don’t make sense
Check out the coverage on One America News and Newsmax. They cover all issues better than any news channels. Best news coverage ever.
I guess they don’t make enough money that they have to try this scheme? What a bunch of unhappy narcissists…
I bet they also advocate for “REPARATIONS” too!!
I was always told this demo has a propensity toward crime because of poverty… guess not…
👀😲😡🤬😔✌️❤️🙏🇺🇸
