Pro & College Basketball Gambling Investigations

So far at least, none of the games mentioned involve St. John's nor any team in the Big East and except for Temple none in the NorthEast. I wonder by the USSD is handling the case?
Because they are bad ass.
The SD of NY has presided over some of the biggest cases in the country involving Wall Street, terrorism, organized crime, fraud against the government and government corruption.
The ED of NY (handling this case so far) has also handled some of the biggest cases involving organized crime and fraud against the government.

Why should anyone be surprised by this; it was only a matter of time before it happened. All we see is adds for betting on our phones on TV and everywhere else. Hell, they have TV programs just devoted to betting. The Federal ED of NY prosecuted the BC case that later was a movie, Goodfellas. I know the US attorney from High School, and he went at it full force because the mob corrupted his school, BC and he had played for them when in school. Louie used to remind the players and had a scrap book (I believe handed down from Lapchick) they showed the players from the 1950's newspaper articles being led out in cuffs. I wonder if he passed it on to Rick for usage?
It was only a matter of time.

Just a minor adjustment

Do you know who Pat Hoberg is? He's a major league umpire who got fired for violating the leagues's gambling rules. Also, there are those who believe the KC Chiefs received favorable calls from NFL referees. Do you remember the play in the Chiefs/Lions game where the LIons tight end dropped a crucial pass that would have resulted in a first down? If you looked closely at that play, the referees dropped a flag because they thought the tight end was going to catch the ball. The flag was picked up by the referees after the Lions player dropped the ball. If you think this is a minor adjustment, I have a bridge to sell you.
Hysterical
Sport league, media, and societal move toward legalized and widespread sport gambling makes this predictable and sadly unsurprising.
Governments insatiable need for money, causing them to legalize these destructive vices, facilitates these scandals and ruined lives. It’s inevitable but the pols salve their culpability by spending small sums on ads warning of the dangers. It’s laughable.
JMHO.

The reality is that this was obviously happening long before sports gambling was legalized in states other than Nevada.
Perhaps it’s more prevalent now, but perhaps it only seems more prevalent because the legalized sites have far more resources to investigate suspicious behavior and the willingness to communicate them to the proper authorities. This leads to this type of stuff being uncovered more than it ever has.
With the tools legalized sites have at their disposal plus all of the regulations requiring bettors to supply all of their info to these sites, it’s nearly impossible to achieve this type of scheme at a high enough level to make a substantial amount of money without getting caught

I've been a little tied up doing some covert investigating on this gambling issue

I’m not interested in bridges, but I do dig the Midtown Tunnel if you have the deed…

Kudos, good come back. I suggest that you read about the mysterious death of Carroll Rosenbloom, the former owner of the LA Rams. As part of his morning exercise routine, Carroll Rosenbloom liked to swim in the Pacific Ocean. By all accounts, he was a very good swimmer except one morning he didn't get out of the ocean alive. Many implications and theories. You might be interested.I’m not interested in bridges, but I do dig the Midtown Tunnel if you have the deed…
