A Brooklyn man has been charged in conjunction with a gambling scheme that involved former Toronto Raptors center Jontay Porter
A Brooklyn man has been charged in connection to an alleged illegal sports betting scheme involving former Toronto Raptors center Jontay Porter who was banned from the NBA earlier this year.
The 24-year-old formerly on a two-way contract with Toronto was encouraged to negatively impact his performance and withdraw from two games in order to wipe away his debt. The scheme resulted in the Brooklyn man Long Phi "Bruce" Pham winning $40,250, according to the United States Attorney's Office. Pham had bet on Porter's "prop" bets to go under his expected statistical milestones for the game.
"They agreed to share the profits for money won on successful under bets placed on Player 1, and that Pham would receive approximately 24% of the profits," according to the Justise Department. "Several bettors, including the co-conspirators, who wagered the under on prop bets related to Player 1’s performance won those bets. In total, the defendant and his co-conspirators netted over $1 million in profits.
