Gambler Timothy McCormack became the first person sentenced in the wide-ranging NBA gambling scheme that involves players Jontay Porter and Terry Rozier on Wednesday in New York.
McCormack, who used nonpublic information to place significant wagers on prop bets involving players implicated in the scheme, was sentenced to two years in prison for defrauding sports betting platforms.
Judge LaShann DeArcy Hall’s sentence was in between the four years the government was pushing for and the sentence with no prison time the defense desired.
