So, to put this in prospective....you have a crew of highly-over-paid NBA coaches/players who frequently like to play poker, where you might lose $40,000 on a evening. At some point (maybe even going back 25 years)....some real mafia folks (the ones from Italy) figured this out. So they developed gambling 'clubs'....where the losers helped to bring in more 'losers'....while the games were rigged up. So for 20-odd years....the NBA players have probably been burning up tens of millions a year from the players who didn't grasp the situation.
Adding to the mess....the coaches and players began to rig games....to get money back from the mafia.
I paused over this.....wondering....who else got played or were rigging things?
Football?
Politics?
Musicians?
Entertainment?
Government?
Law Enforcement?
College?
