Part 7/10:
One of the most concrete examples involves NBA player Terry Roier, who allegedly coordinated to leave a game early under the pretense of injury. Using inside information, members of the gambling ring placed over $200,000 on his underperformance, which paid out when Roier exited after just nine minutes. This event occurred in Charlotte in March 2023 and generated significant profits for the operators involved.
Roier's actions and the subsequent investigation have landed him—and other defendants—in serious legal trouble, facing charges of conspiracy to commit fraud. The case underscores how inside information and on-court deception are being exploited to manipulate betting markets, representing a grave breach of integrity.
