A Pennsylvania man has pleaded guilty in a sports betting scheme that led to the premature end of Toronto Raptors forward Jontay Porter's NBA career. Mahmud Mollah entered his plea on Wednesday, becoming the third individual, including Porter, to acknowledge involvement in the scandal. The scheme involved Porter intentionally withdrawing early from games to allow informed gamblers to win bets predicting he would score fewer points than anticipated by sportsbooks.
In addition to Mollah, Long Phi Pham and Porter have also pleaded guilty to wire fraud conspiracy charges. Two other individuals have been charged but have not yet entered pleas in the case.
