There was such a piece of news that broke out last night,
Eighteen former NBA players were arrested for defrauding about $4 million from an NBA benefits program.
The list of players involved is as follows: Terrance Williams, Alan Anderson, Tony Allen, Shannon Brown, Will Bynum, Malvin Erie, Douglas Roberts, Tony Roten, Milt Palacio, Sebastian Telfer, Antoine Wright, Darius Miles, Ruben Patterson, Eddie Robinson, Gregory Smith, Glen Davis, Gemario Moon and Charles Watson.
There are many names that we are familiar with, Such as Tony Allen, who is retiring from the jersey at the Grizzlies, Marbury's nephew Terfer, big baby Glenn Davis, and Shannon Brown, who won two championship rings at the Lakers.
At first, the skill jun thought that each of these 18 people had cheated the NBA of 4 million, after all, everyone here was a person with a head and a face, and the amount of money reached this level to make them risk their lives.
Who knows, the total amount involved in this case is 4 million.
According to the indictment, the mastermind of the incident was Terrance Williams, who created false medical service invoices for retired players from 2017 to 2020.
Through these fake invoices, players can be reimbursed from the NBA Player Health Benefit Program to complete the profit.
Don't look at the amount involved in the case reached 4 million, in fact, the real fraud proceeds of the gang are only 2.5 million.
18 people are divided equally by 2.5 million, a total of one person is a little more than 100,000, I have to say that these dozen players are really pure breed two hundred and five.
For ordinary people, 100,000 may be a very tempting number, but for these players, isn't it just sprinkling water?
Take Tony Allen, in the NBA for so many years, the salary is not less, the other day the Grizzlies announced that they want to retire his jersey, from retiring the jersey to wearing a prison uniform, a beautiful career, have to make the late festival, is it for Mao?
What's even funnier is that as the mastermind of the incident, Terrance Williams actually only ate a $23,000 kickback.
Skill Jun wrote that this is a bit speechless, saying that he is stupid, but he can plan a fraud case with an amount of 4 million, saying that he is smart, he actually became the mastermind of the 4 million fraud case for 23,000 US dollars.
WITH ALL DUE RESPECT, if he puts his crooked mind on practicing football a little, he will not be unable to play in the NBA so early.
On this matter, let's talk about the personal views of the skill jun,
(1) The NBA will certainly continue to investigate whether there are similar incidents, and at the same time, the crimes of the people involved will certainly not be light.
(2) The relationship between labor and management has always been tense,
This time the players are grabbed with pigtails when they do this, because the players themselves die, the players' union does not care, and the players who really need help next may be difficult to get subsidies.
(3) The brains and qualities of some professional players really dare not compliment, and they are completely reckless when they do things.
Some of the above people are seeing money and some think that "the alliance has so much money, I can't find it, even if they find it, it should be nothing."
This is called typical greed and ignorance, and the NBA must strengthen the quality education of players.
(4) Young players should pay more attention to financial management,
Eliminate the risk of bankruptcy due to excessive profligacy in advance, otherwise it is not surprising that the gang after bankruptcy will do anything.
At present, the case is still under trial, and the results come out, and the skill jun will inform everyone at the first time.
I also hope that everyone will take it as a warning, for such a player, the skill jun does not feel pity at all, but feels very happy.
