Billups' arrest in Oregon was made as part of a separate but related illegal gambling case linked to an illegal poker operation tied to the Mafia, according to an ABC News report. Billups is expected to make an initial court appearance later Thursday.

The Eastern District of New York and FBI director Kash Patel will hold a news conference at 10 a.m. ET Thursday to announce arrests from the investigations.

In fairness to the Conductor, betting on us to lose probably paid him more than his salary

So you're saying that the Mafia is really ANTIFA and "poker night" was what they called their secret planning meetings.

This is not a way for Chauncey to endear himself to the new owner.

I was hoping we'd never see a Jailblazer era again!

With him running a train….at best….on that girl in Boston, and now these allegations, the team should cut ties immediately

 

[SlyPokerDog]

KATU just reported that Billups' case involves private poker games all across the country that involved 3 mafia families.

Holy F....

Gotta ask... Where's HCP? Being questioned by the feds?

Actually we put him in a training program to walk in heels, he is going to play Cronin in the upcoming Scorsese movie about all of this

 

[SlyPokerDog]

KATU is going to live broadcast the news conference.

 

[Sedatedfork]

Wait it is a rigged poker game allegation? Thought it was just an illegal poker house

 

[HailBlazers]

I was telling @SharpeScooterShooter, on the way to the game last night! Gambling is the most addicting because it releases endorphins when you lose and win. Unreal.

Yes, playing only 6 players to the point of injury is exactly what this team needs.

 

[Sedatedfork]

Tony KGB exists

Who got injured last year during the playoffs?

 

[Wizard Mentor]

Jail Blazers be back! Rasheed for coach!!

 

[SlyPokerDog]

The Eastern District of New York is no joke. This shit is serious.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

La Cosa Nostra, multiple mafia families...Holy crap...

 

[SlyPokerDog]

You really didn't read the forum first?

 

[TBpup]

Starr the new coaching search now..... just in case, but they usually don't make an arrest like that unless they have pretty solid evidence.
I wonder if he will be put on paid leave pending the investigation?
