Ever the joker, former NBA point guard Gilbert Arenas is making light of the scandal that rocked the NBA this Thursday.
Most fans woke up on the morning of to find out that Terry Rozier had been busted by the FBI on sports gambling-related charges. That shouldn’t have come as much of a surprise, as the Miami Heat guard had been identified as a target several months ago.
However, everyone was shocked to learn that the Feds had also nabbed Portland Trail Blazers head coach Chauncey Billups. The Hall of Famer is alleged to have participated in a high-stakes illegal poker scheme that cheated people out of millions.
FBI director Kash Patel revealed that four of the New York Mafia families were part of running the gig.
Gilbert Arenas Fesses Up To Snitching
Arenas, who was arrested in late July, was alleged to have helped run an illegal gambling operation, but was released later in the day and said he would snitch if it ever came to that. It was reported that an Israeli mobster was arrested along with the former NBA star.
After the aforementioned arrests, he took to social media to jokingly confess that he was indeed an informant, posting photos of himself with a brown bag labeled “Informant Lunch.”
“Got that Informant Lunch special this morning 🕵️♂️ #Agentzero,” he wrote as the caption.

“This is diabolical,” a fan commented.
“Nah I dead a** think you got something to do with it lol no way u just walked free a few months ago,” a user added.
“Bro snitched on the Mafia and is basically telling them “what u finna do about it?”” someone else wrote.
“Bro, 😂😂😂😂 that’s some legendary s**t right there. Lmao,” another laughed.
“This some sucker ass shit… dislike these goofballs,” one comment read.
Former Cleveland Cavaliers guard Damon Jones was also among those arrested this week, with Patel revealing that over 30 people have been taken into custody as part of the investigation.
