Former NBA player Jontay Porter pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit wire fraud on Wednesday. Porter will owe an estimated $456,000 in fines and restitution, and could face a prison sentence.


The former Raptors forward admitted to placing bets and fixing his own stats. He said did so "in order to get out from under a large gambling debt."


Porter conspired with four others, who all face charges of their own, to leave games early. Doing so would allow the others to cash in on bets they had made that Porter's stats for those games would come in under the set lines. Porter left two games early, in which he and his partners made over $1 million by winning bets on Porter leaving early.


The NBA hit Porter with a lifetime ban after completing their own investigation into the matter.

It does if bro is involved in the betting. Plead guilty quickly to end any further/deeper investigations.

You think the feds stop investigating fraud just because one person pleads guilty? :lol:

There is no reason to think his brother was involved.
