According to reports, former NBA player and University of Louisville standout Terrence WIlliams will be spending the next decade in prison for masterminding a $5 million healthcare scheme from the National Basketball Association’s health care plan.
WIlliams pleaded guilty back in August 2022 to orchestrating the entire thing by persuading 18 former players to defraud the NBA’s Health and Welfare Benefit Plan.
“Williams led a wide-ranging scheme to steal millions of dollars from the NBA Players’ Health and Welfare Benefit Plan,” the US attorney said.
“Williams recruited medical professionals and others to expand his criminal conspiracy and maximize his ill-gotten gains,” the prosecutor said. “Williams not only lined his pockets through fraud and deceit, but he also stole the identities of others and threatened a witness to further his criminal endeavors.”
