Eighteen former National Basketball Association players were accused of defrauding the league’s health-care plan out of $3.9 million by makhing fake claims for medical and dental expenses.
The former players charged include Sebastian Telfair, Darius Miles and Glen Davis. Prosecutors said Terrence Williams, the 11th overall pick in the 2009 NBA draft, orchestrated the plan and provided fake letters justifying medical services that weren’t performed. Williams received kickbacks totaling at least $230,000, according to an indictment made public in Manhattan federal court Thursday.
The defendants are all charged with conspiracy to commit health-care fraud and wire fraud. In addition, Williams is charged with aggravated identity theft for impersonating someone who processed benefit plan claims.
Sucks getting caught.
