Six charged in alleged NBA performance-manipulation and illegal betting scheme

The US Department of Justice said an indictment unsealed in Brooklyn charges six people, including former NBA players Malik Beasley and Edward Davis, current player agent Paolo Zamorano and three others, with wire fraud, sports bribery, honest services fraud and money laundering conspiracies. The DOJ alleges Beasley was bribed to manipulate game performance and that co-conspirators used non-public information to place illegal wagers; several defendants were arrested and are due to be arraigned later.
