Attorney for Chauncey Billups refutes connection to mafia, says client is ‘man of integrity’
The attorney representing Portland Trail Blazers head coach Chauncey Billups released a statement on Thursday night after the NBA Hall of Famer was arrested and accused of rigging poker games for the mafia.
Three suspects involved in the major gambling case, which implicated a former NBA star and major crime families, were set to appear in Macon court today.
Portland Trail Blazers coach Chauncey Billups was given a travel restriction and a New York court date after his federal court appearance.
Chauncey Billups, investigators allege, was known as a “face card.” He and other former professional athletes were used to attract victims to the poker games.
Big-money bettors lost millions of dollars in a rigged poker scheme, according to legal documents released Oct. 23.
