Given how in-bed leagues are with betting firms now, and the subsequent proliferation of that degeneracy, it was only a matter of time before something like this happened.

If the NBA has evidence showing that this was more than a pair of coincidences, they basically have to indefinitely ban the guy.

Is it enough? The gambling money will increase; the names will get bigger.
I mean it's not like gambling is a new thing. It's been available for quite some time already.

Be curious what legal ramifications he is facing as well from this.

The thing is that gambling is so easy now. And crammed down our throats. It used to be taboo. Now it’s advertised ad nauseum. Great athletes will succumb.
Gambling online has been pretty easy for the last decade or so. There is just more of them and it is crammed down our throats more, but all this newer guys that popped up in North America seem to have deals with the leagues to look into this shit.

So one can almost say it might be easier to catch now than when there were only the online gambling sites that were located in the Bahamas
