Heh. I mean, everyone knew they were tanking, though, right?

Co-Conspirator 8 (Billups) told a bettor (allegedly) Portland was tanking a March 24, 2023 game against Chicago. Of course they were tanking. They went into that game 9 games under .500, and were the amidst of another losing streak (dropping 6 of their last 7). That's the problem with sports gambling. You go and tell one of your homeboys, they go do put money on it. Anyone who follows the NBA knew Portland was ready to tank.

^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.


OT

Spoiler:
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.


OT
Spoiler:
not a fcking chance. Id be in jail for murder or dead from suicide. I dont deal with small slights or inconveniences well im way too fragile. I can't fathom having the person I love abuse me. I have no clue how women are out here living.

The issue is that the coach of the team purposely telling gamblers that information to give them an advantage runs afoul of the law.

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.


Blah blah blah....vote again in 3 years. The whining is getting old. People like me who didn't even vote for Trump are tired of hearing about it. Look it's raining outside.....it must be Trumps fault. :lol:

You think the charges are suspect?

I will be honest, I don't trust the FBI under Kash Patel for a number of reasons that i will not discuss here, but unless I'm wrong these investigations were underway well before he took charge.


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 ****?


I suspect Billups was like the guys who get whales to gamble in Vegas. The "pitchmen" who told them about the poker games. Maybe they gave him some money to play and lose while shmoozing with the rich marks.

It won't. He's doing what the owners want.

This is why I keep posting about the Pablo Torre Clippers reporting. This is open corruption and the NBA is acting like it's no big deal. A pattern is starting to form.

So now we see that the league swept criminal activity by one of their players under the rug in an attempt to stave off the notion that the league's integrity is compromised.

I have a bad feeling that this stuff we're seeing today is the tip of the iceberg.
