The gambling scandal in the NBA has a new wrinkle as it now involves Travis Scott & Kylie Jenner.
Unlike the over 30 people who have been arrested, Scott and Jenner are not accused of any wrongdoing in this indictment, which targets alleged mafia-related illegal poker games.
Trail Blazers coach Chauncey Billups and Heat guard Terry Rozier were arrested after an investigation into illegal gambling.
The scandal was so big that even ESPN decided to hide its advertisement for ESPN Bet on its ticker while discussing the case.
Terry Rozier and Damon Jones are accused of being part of a scheme to place bets on NBA games based on non-public information, including a player planning to pull himself out of a game due to injury or illness. Rozier and Jones would pass along confidential information in exchange for some of the proceeds.
Billups and Jones are being charged for allegedly taking part in illegal high-stakes poker games operated by organized crime.
Somehow, Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott’s million-dollar home is part of this scandal.
How Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott’s Home is Part of The NBA Scandal
According to TMZ, a multimillion-dollar townhouse in New York City’s Greenwich Village that the former couple once stayed at was reportedly one of two locations where prosecutors allege the Manhattan mafia ran illegal poker games with high risks and high rewards.
Folks involved scammed folks out of millions of dollars at these and other games. FBI Director Kash Patel announced that the ring “tens of millions of dollars in fraud, theft, and robbery across a multi-year investigation.”
The illegal operation included X-ray machines built into the poker tables to read face-down cards, while contact lenses and glasses were used to read pre-marked cards.
Again, it should be noted that Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott don’t appear in the indictment and did not receive any accusations of wrongdoing in this case. There is no indication they had any knowledge of it or involvement, per the NY Post.
The townhouse, where they previously stayed, has six bedrooms and eight bathrooms across six stories.
