Yeah. If he was just scamming geeks okay, but you never know what someone is capable of and this kinda behavior drives people to doing the unspeakable.

Chauncey might wanna watch his back if he gets out on bail


where could he do a stretch? where could he go into witness protection?

c. billups and the family. no way out.


Per ESPN one of the "fish" or marks got taken for over $7m, including 1.2m in one session

I don't know who these people are, but I would be wary of scamming someone with that kinda money. You just don't know who knows who and what someone is willing to do.

If I'm Billups I'm getting my family out of the country. I'm actually ashamed of Chauncey here, I thought he had high character.


eh, it kind of seems like people have known for a while now that these were rigged games given the fact there's this guy speaking openly about these games years ago

he was probably doing alright given that he probably had mob protection. if he starts talking now though... the fish is probably the least of his problems

Billups already had a rape case...


Jesus christ I totally forgot about that, all the way back from his college days with Ron Mercer, I remember now :banghead:

Nevermind :noway: seems like this isn't outside of his moral compass at all

The NBA was aware of Terry Rozier but from what I saw this morning, the league got caught flat footed about today's arrests

We should have never traded for Billups!

Imagine if we had traded for Melo and still kept Felton

It might be too late to talk unless the feds want to leverage him against a bigger target.

Either way, Billups needs to get his affairs in order.

That charity poker tournament stuff doesn't involve Jontay or Michael from what I read.

^pretty good summary there. I can't believe I forgot about this.



Imma about to get waaaaaay off topic here.

Spoiler:
So Im currently reading this book(stoner) and the main character in short rapes his wife. And its not outright forceful rape but the marriage type of coercion type and its really glossed over. The book takes place in the 1920s and im curious if the author even considered it rape. Well anyways it made me uncomfortable and I keep reading. The wjfe grows distant and cold throughout the story and im starting to think she sucks. Then I remember oh yeah her husband abused her. She kinda has the right to act sideways.

Well I talk to my wife about this scenario and she was kinda upset with me cause she said that the majority of women's she knows have exlerienced some sort of SA along these lines. And I was kinda floored by it. And its still kinda fcked up by it.

Anyways ill get back to gambling jokes.

A lawyer friend of mine just pulled quotes from the deposition leaving no doubt that Billups was co-conspirator 8 and is also under investigation for leaking prop bet type material. I.e. that the Blazers were tanking in 2023 and were sitting stars.

I think it's telling that out of 30 people, the most noteworthy names are 2 black sports players.

The FBI's rep has taken so many shots that I can't really view them as trustworthy. Patel just adds and magnifies the problem. And yes, these investigations were underway for awhile. Doesn't tell us when, though. Prior FBI director was Wray, who was a Trump appointee. I would not be floored if the story ends up being something like this:

Trump pushed this agenda (there has always been ties there, maybe he owes money like he owes me [true story], Wray found nothing of substance, it dropped, then here comes dewyeyed Patel -- who is absolutely a Trumptard -- decided to pick up the case and play connect the dot.

I'd be interested to see who the "victim(s)" were. Specifically in the case of Billups. One report said Billups used rigging devices (X-ray tables, card reading treys, or something). What, was he wearing X-Ray glasses or some ****?


If these charges are bogus, and frankly I don't think what you're saying is far fetched based on how much garbage we've seen over the last 9 months, the case will quickly collapse in court and be thrown out, like the other bogus charges the administration has tried to bring against people.

I'll wait and see though because this seems eerily similar to the Gilbert Arenas charges.


You guys just can't control yourselves. You've figured it out...Trump has it out for Chauncey Billups and black athletes. Now he's using his power and influence to have Kash Patel and the FBI go after these guys. Even though this investigation has been going on for years, you still figure out a way to incorporate Trump into the conversation. It's like that game "Six degrees of Kevin Bacon" :crazy:


Oh, it's this guy.

I didn't say any of what I said was gospel. But if you're not catching on to Trump's Revenge Tour 2025, I don't know what to tell you. And it has nothing to do with Billups, I just found it interesting out of 30 people, his name popped up. Crime families, such as Genovese have had ties with Trump for a very long time. Never mind that they shared the same lawyer. Same with Lucchese and Gambino La Cosa. And if you -- hopefully a proud NY'er -- knows anything about anything, you know Trump owes a lot of money to a lot of people in this town, including my little company that almost got screwed if we didn't recognize it and pivot.

Until I read any other evidences -- as I would encourage you to do -- I am going to assume this investigation started with Wray, who was Trump's FBI Director appointee.

Oh, just to add the dates, investigation seemed to have started in 2019/2020.

The amount of women that came forward saying that they were SA'd in some form during the Me Too stuff and what they said happened to them was eye opening.

A man cannot walk a day in a woman's shoes. I truly believe that.

That description of co-conspirator 8 might as well read "and his name rhymes with Paunchy Dillups."
