Multiple NBA players and coaches have been charged in various sports gambling scandals, allegedly involving elaborate rigging schemes, extortion and high-tech gadgets used to fix poker games.

Among those arrested are Portland Trail Blazers head coach Chauncey Billups, the Miami Heat’s Terry Rozier and former NBA player Damon Jones, who were charged as part of two investigations — one involving illegal sports betting and another involving poker-rigging plots reportedly backed by the Mafia.

In the first case , prosecutors accused six defendants of participating in wire fraud and money laundering conspiracies using inside information from NBA players and coaches to profit from illegal betting.
