Tuesday marked the arraignment of a New Yorker who was allegedly involved in a sports gambling scheme in which he made over $1 million in profits by using insider information to wager on NBA player Jontay Porter's performance during a game.
The suspect made an appearance in Brooklyn federal court on Tuesday afternoon. He and his accomplices are accused of placing "under prop" bets on the player's performance during two games in 2024, knowing that the player would likely miss those games due to alleged health issues.
