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

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 ****?

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.

Don’t worry President Trump is going to pardon them.
I will only cherish the wins and ignore everything else, because that's the only way to survive as a Knicks fan.

I don’t believe anything the government does so that also includes this investigation. That’s where my mindset is . I have a big conspiracy about it that I subscribe to and I’m going with that instead
