Long Phi Pham, one of the gamblers involved in a scheme that aimed to manipulate games by having former Raptors big man Jontay Porter exit early for betting purposes, pleaded guilty this week to conspiring to commit wire fraud.
This significant development was reported by Jennifer Peltz of The Associated Press.
Pham’s actions were part of a larger scandal that raised serious questions about the integrity of professional sports and the impact of gambling on athlete performance.
