Overview
- ESPN reported an $8,218,211 IRS tax lien filed in November 2023 in Broward County, with no release on record for the claim tied to GMB Chronicles, a company affiliated with Rozier.
- Rozier was arrested last week and charged with conspiracy to commit wire fraud and conspiracy to commit money laundering linked to an alleged scheme using non-public NBA information.
- Prosecutors say Rozier tipped longtime friend Deniro Laster before a March 23, 2023 Hornets-Pelicans game, then exited after 10 minutes as roughly $200,000 in under prop bets were placed.
- The NBA previously reviewed suspicious 2023 prop bets on Rozier without finding league-rule violations, then placed him on leave following the federal indictment.
- U.S. attorney Joseph Nocella described a ring that leveraged insider details and named Damon Jones, with one episode involving threats to Jontay Porter over gambling debts; Rozier’s lawyer says he is not a gambler and intends to fight the charges.
