A few days of social media sleuthing from @pablo.show and @tomhaberstroh.bsky.social turned up ANOTHER potentially manipulated Jontay Porter game that the FBI (and presumably the NBA) had failed to identify after months of investigating?!
Some thoughts π§΅
Researching the Malik Beasley betting allegations (PTFO episode is def worth your time), those two discovered that the same guys seemed to know about Beasley and Porter before the feds. Pablo said he confirmed their digging led the FBI to broaden its Porter probe.
