This week, Jontay Porter pleaded guilty to wire fraud in a New York Federal Court. He informed sports bettors about confidential information in NBA games and helped rig the outcome of those games. This is despicable behavior.

Porter accepted a plea deal and will serve 4-5 years in Federal prison. He will also have to pay $450,000+ in fines. He is also being investigated in Canada.

Porter played in the NBA for the Memphis Grizzlies and the Toronto Raptors. The NBA has banned Porter for life.

Jontay Porter has a younger brother, Coban, who is serving a 6-year prison sentence for vehicular homicide. He killed a 42-year-old woman in 2022 while driving drunk.
