A jury in Manhattan has convicted former NBA players Glen ‘Big Baby’ Davis and Will Bynum – ruling that they engaged in fraud.
According to the US Attorney’s office for the Southern District of New York, Davis and Bynum were not the only ones engaged in this behavior.
However, the US Attorney says, ‘While many of the more than 20 defendants convicted in this case were well-known NBA stars, their [Davis and Bynum’s] conduct was otherwise a typical fraudulent scheme designed to defraud the NBA’s health care plan and net the defendants over $5million in illicit profits.
‘Today’s conviction exemplifies that despite notoriety or success in sports or any other field, no one is exempt from criminal charges if they engage in fraud.’
Davis and Bynum were specifically found guilty of health care fraud and wire fraud as well as conspiracy to commit those two crimes among other charges.
