Two additional men have been charged in connection with the sports betting scandal that led to the lifetime ban of former Toronto Raptors player Jontay Porter by the NBA. Timothy McCormack and Mahmud Mollah have been named as defendants in a federal wire fraud case related to wagers allegedly influenced by insider information from a player regarding his early exit from games.
While prosecutors have not officially identified Porter in connection with the case, details in court documents align with Porter's situation, including his banishment from the NBA in April. The court complaint refers to 'Player 1,' believed to be Porter, who allegedly provided tips to bettors about his health status to manipulate game outcomes.
