A sitting head coach of the NBA, current and past players, and members of the mafia were charged in relation to two separate gambling scandals that have rocked the basketball world. One of the indictments was characterized as the “insider trading saga for the NBA,” where current and past players were among those accused of selling non-public information about players and games that was then used to place illegal bets. The other indictment, which had allegations against members and associates of four of the major crime families, detailed a nationwide scheme to rig illegal poker games. FBI Director Kash Patel described the amount of fraud in this case as “mind-boggling.” Attorney Marisa Darden joins “Forbes True Crime” to discuss the major gambling scandals that have been reportedly described as a “nightmare for the league.”
