Summary
In a jaw-dropping, head-scratching, headline making press conference, the FBI and multiple law enforcement agencies announced a major shakedown of the mob and the NBA. Authorities revealed more than 30 arrests including current NBA coach and Hall of Famer Chauncey Billups and a former and current NBA player, along with crime families with familiar names like Gambino and Bonanno. It is all a part of two separate investigations involving illegal gambling with details that make Oceans 11 movies seem tame.
