RE: I Bet You Didn't See That Coming

I saw the news about Chauncy the other day and it was pretty sad for me given the fact that he was such a big part of the Pistons organization for so many years. I can still hear the announcer in my head saying his name in the pregame. It was iconic. I'm not saying he should get away with what he did, but I think it's pretty funny they are going after him for rigging illicit games. So he swindled people who were illegally gambling to begin with? It's almost like poetic justice in my opinion. The point shaving seems like a much more egregious issue, minus all the organized crime ties. At least when it comes to sports. The poker games could have been anyone. It's just happenstance that it was a former pro player and coach.
I don’t think the Billups thing is a slam dunk he is guilty. I’m withholding judgement on that one. He may have been paid to bring in rich guys who suck at poker. Doesn’t mean he was in on a fix. But who knows .
My brother in law is of the opinion that you can't really trust the FBI right now with all the other stuff going on, so he thinks this is all a big misdirect. They guy actually throwing basketball games should be tarred and feathered though.
