    We've got white collar criminals such as the Fire Festival guy getting only 6 years (only served 4, now he's a free man). Elizabeth Holmes raised $700M with her fraudulent Theranos company, only got 11 years.

    So basically if you are rich and white, you get less punishment

    You know Morey traded a first for Squid right?

    At that time Squid was the best prospect on our roster. Those were some dark dark days.

    This trade was probably Morey's worst trade all-times.

    After his Rookie year with the Nets, I really thought he would be something special. I was ecstatic when the Rockets got him...

    ...and I was proven wrong almost immediately. It’s a bummer to see where his road has taken him

    I am guessing rich helps more than skin color. How much money do you think T Will doled out for a lawyer? Not saying it's fair but I bet he doesn't have much money.

    apologies for the political reference...

    but, so scheming to defraud the NBA's health care plan gets you 10 years...

    Tax evasion of 1.5M with the US government gets u a misdemeanor with no time - if yer Hunter Biden


    dont seem right... smh

    (fwiw im an independent and think BOTH sides are a bunch of corrupt asshats)

    lets not make it race, man...

    lets not forget OJ... lol... or Kamara or a litany of others...

    The only color that matters is GREEN! There's those that got it, those that want it - and those caught in between. ;) lol

    TWill should get his 10 years...
    Hunter should get 10...
    Holmes should go away for LIFE! That b*tch put how many lives at risk with her fraudulent medical business... 'depraved indifference' imo...

    Folks gotta stop excusing scum based on their color, political affiliations, etc... scum is scum...

    “A lot of my bad choices in this case were caused by my opioid addiction, that I was feeding for years,” Williams told the judge before he was sentenced. “The other half was stupidity and greed.”

    Sounds like he could be describing his play on the court too

    From the article and I pasted it in a different order from the article. Lol I’m kind of curious to actually read the case. I’m amazed T Will was even able to run the scheme for 4 years before getting busted. 10 years seems excessive but I haven’t read anything on the case until now. Either way T Will is a moron and so are all the other players who followed him. Curious what everyone else gets.

    _______
    From 2017 to 2021, he recruited former NBA players, forged signatures, impersonated health plan employees and found health care providers to create fake letters of medical necessity to justify procedures.

    Williams has already spent a year and a half behind bars. Several months after his arrest, Caproni found that he had threatened a witness and revoked his bail. The time he’s already served will be credited against his sentence.

    “Your behavior, of all the defendants in this case, was the most serious by a substantial measure,” the judge told Williams before imposing the sentence.
