Ex-NBA Player Jontay Porter Faces Federal Felony Charges in Betting Scandal

Porter, banned for life by the NBA, is accused of manipulating games and sharing inside information for profit.

Court documents reveal Porter will be charged with a federal felony related to a sports betting scheme.
Porter allegedly exited games early to influence betting outcomes and shared confidential health information.
Four other individuals face charges for profiting from Porter's actions, including a $1.1 million betting win.
Porter's lawyer claims he was driven by a gambling addiction and is now seeking treatment.
The NBA banned Porter in April for violating the league's gambling rules, marking the first lifetime ban for betting.
