A Brooklyn man was busted for allegedly teaming up with a former Toronto
Raptors forward — who was banned for life for sports gambling — to place
bets on games he knew the disgraced NBA player was going to throw, the feds
said Tuesday.

Long Phi Pham, 38, also known as “Bruce,” was nabbed Monday while trying to
board a flight from John F. Kennedy International Airport to Australia on a
one-way ticket, according to a complaint filed in Brooklyn federal court.

一名布魯克林人被供出並被指控與因運動簽賭終身禁賽的前多倫多暴龍前鋒Jontay Porter一起合作並在Porter會放水的比賽下注，聯邦檢察官週二表示。

根據布魯克林聯邦法院的訴狀，Long Phi Pham，38歲，也常常被稱為"Bruce"，於星期一在JFK國際機場準備要以一張單程票登機逃到澳洲前被抓捕。

He is accused of working with Jontay Porter, 24, to place “prop bets” —
also known as a proposition, or a wager placed on a player’s performance,
like betting on the over or under of a certain statistical category such as
points or rebounds.

Federal prosecutors allege that Porter had racked up large gambling debts in
the beginning of the year to co-conspirators, and was encouraged to clear
those debts by throwing games in order for certain bets to hit.

他被指控與24歲的Jontay Porter合作並下注了"特殊投注"--也被稱為提案投注，或對球員表現進行的賭注，例如針對某一項數據（如得分或籃板）的高於或低於進行投注。

聯邦檢察官指控，Porter在年初欠了共犯大量賭債，並被鼓勵通過打假球使某些數據達到特定數據來還這些賭債。

In this case, Porter, a journeyman between the Raptors and their G-League
affiliate, allegedly told Pham that he was going to take himself out early
from the Jan. 26 game against the Los Angeles Clippers, claiming he was
injured, the feds said.

Porter played just four minutes in the game and recorded a zero points, threerebounds and one assist before leaving with a purported eye injury, and a
co-conspirator in the case placed a parlay prop bet, cashing in on a $10,000
wager by betting the under on each of those statistical categories, accordingto the complaint.

聯邦檢察官表示在這個案例，Porter這名在暴龍與他們的G League球隊間遊走的浪人被指控告訴Pham他將會在1月26日對上洛杉磯快艇的比賽聲稱自己受傷以提早下場。

根據訴狀，Porter在那場比賽因聲稱的眼睛受傷下場前只打了4分鐘並拿下了0分3籃板1助攻。案件中的其中一名共犯在這場比賽每一個數據都下注"低於"並兌現了這高達10000美元的押注。

The disgraced NBA player allegedly communicated with the group of
co-conspirators through the Telegram group chat app when he notified them
before another game — this time on March 20 against the Sacramento Kings —
claiming that going to say he was sick to leave a game early.

Pham and others allegedly agreed to share profits from their winnings with
Porter before they placed several bets on his performance at a casino in
Atlantic City.

Porter then bowed out of the game due to illness after just three minutes,
recording zero points, three rebounds and zero assists — which netted Pham
and his co-conspirators over $1 million in profits, the feds charge.

這名恬不知恥的NBA球員被指控透過Telegram群組與他的共犯們交流並在另一場比賽前通知(這次是3月20打國王的比賽)他將會因為聲稱"感冒"而提早離場。

Pham與其他人被指控他們同意會在大西洋城的賭場靠Porter的"表現"贏錢後分紅給Porter。

根據聯邦檢察官的指控，Porter在出賽3分鐘後便"感冒"而離開比賽，指得到0分3籃板0助攻--這幫助Pham與他的共犯們贏下了超過100萬美金。

Later, on April 4, the same day that Porter was banned for life from
basketball for betting on games, he allegedly texted the group chat and told
them that they “might just get hit w a rico” — referring to a racketeering
charge — before asking them if they “delete[d] all the stuff” from their
personal cell phones.

During its investigation, the NBA said that Porter — the brother of Denver
Nuggets star Michael Porter Jr. — placed at least 13 bets on NBA games using
someone else’s account, with bets ranging between $15 to $22,000.

接下來，在4月4號，在Porter因簽賭比賽而終身籃球禁賽的當天，他被指控傳訊息給了群組並說他們"可能被RICO抓到了"--指集體詐騙指控--且在那之前還問他們"是不是把他們個人手機裡的"東西全部都刪乾淨了"。

在調查期間，NBA表示Porter--丹佛金塊球星Michael Porter Jr.的弟弟--至少透過其他人的帳號下注了13次，下注金額從$15到$22000美元不等。

The league found that Porter was “disclosing confidential information to
sports better” and “limiting his own participation in one of more games for
betting purposes.”

The allegations against Porter, who is not identified in Pham’s complaint,
match the description of “Player 1” in the court documents.

The feds are looking for three additional people who remain at-large.

聯盟發現Porter"洩漏了機密資訊給運動簽賭客"並"為了簽賭目的限制自己對多場比賽的參與"。

這些針對Porter的指控雖然並未在Pham的訴狀中被指明，但都符合法院文件中指稱的"球員甲"。

聯邦檢察官還在抓捕其他三位還在逃涉案較深的人員。

Pham tried hightailing it out of the country by booking a one-way ticket to
Australia a day after the government tried questioning him, the complaint
said.

He was collared at JFK with a bag stuffed with $12,000 cash, two cashier
checks worth $80,000 and several betting slips, according to the complaint.

Pham was arraigned on wire fraud charges Tuesday and faces up to 20 years in
prison.

A bail hearing for Pham has been set for Wednesday.

Pham’s attorney, Michael Soshnick, did not immediately return a request for
comment.

根據訴狀，Pham試圖在政府盤問他的一天後透過訂購去澳洲的單程票逃離美國。

根據訴狀，他在JFK機場被逮捕，身上帶著裝滿$12000美金現金的袋子、價值$80000美金的支票兩張與幾張簽注單。

Pham的保釋聽證會設在了星期三舉行。

Pham的律師Michael Soshnick第一時間沒有回應評論請求。

總之就是 案件比大家一開始想的都還要嚴重多了
