quote:
“Moments ago, a Manhattan jury convicted former NBA players Ronald Glen Davis and William Bynum of a criminal scheme to defraud the NBA Players’ Health and Benefit Welfare Plan," the Southern District of New York said in a statement.

"While many of the more than 20 defendants convicted in this case were well-known NBA stars, their conduct was otherwise a typical fraudulent scheme designed to defraud the NBA’s health care plan and net the defendants over $5 million in illicit profits. Today’s conviction exemplifies that despite notoriety or success in sports or any other field, no one is exempt from criminal charges if they engage in fraud.”

Former Celtics guard Terrence Williams, the "mastermind" behind the operation, received a 10-year prison sentence for his involvement.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA insert “we are laughing” gif.
It’s NEVER been more apparent, than it is today, that there’s a TWO tiered justice system and the SDNY is the tip of the spear with corruption and abusing power to prosecute innocent people while protecting guilty politicians and Wall Street

You say that like the US justice system is infallible. Hint: it is not.

Galactic Inquisitor sounds like he thinks the justice system is flawed only when someone he likes gets in trouble.

He’s a thug and “blamed it on the white man keeping the black man down.” While he was stealing from the NBA Players Health and Benefit Welfare Fund which was funded by the teams and the Player Association-which, last time I watched an NBA game was pretty much black players. So in other words he blamed the white man for keeping him down while stealing from the black man. frick him. He needs prison time.
