A federal court in New York has charged 18 former NBA players and one spouse with an alleged $3.9 million scheme aimed at defrauding the league's health insurance plan.
According to an indictment unsealed in the Southern District of New York on Thursday, former New Jersey Nets and Boston Celtics guard Terrence Williams was the ringleader of the plan to submit false claims to the NBA's Health and Welfare Benefit Plan between 2017 and 2020.
Specifically, Williams is accused of asking for kickbacks in exchange for filing false invoices on behalf of other former players. Williams allegedly had fake template invoices emailed to the other defendants. However, according to the indictment, the bogus invoices were noticed because they were 'not on letterhead.'
Also, they contained 'unusual formatting' and 'grammatical errors.'
Other accused former players include Chris Douglas-Roberts, who played with Williams on the Nets, as well as Tony Allen, Shannon Brown, Glen 'Big Baby' Davis, Sebastian Telfair, Darius Miles, Milt Palacio, Antoine Wright, Ruben Patterson, Alan Anderson, CJ Watson, Eddie Robinson, Will Bynum, Melvin Ely, Jamario Moon, Greg Smith, and Tony Wroten. Allen's wife, Desiree, is also named in the indictment, which was first reported by NBC New York .
All of the defendants are charged with health care fraud and aggravated identify theft.
