An alleged scheme to defraud the NBA health plan of millions of dollars has led to the arrest and indictment of nearly 20 former NBA players.

Jonathan Dienst of NBC New York reported on Thursday that 18 NBA veterans were named in the indictment, and all are facing a count of conspiracy to commit health care and wire fraud. These are the names reportedly in the indictment, which was unsealed Thursday:

  • Alan Anderson
  • Anthony Allen
  • Shannon Brown
  • William Bynum
  • Ronald Glen Davis
  • Christopher Douglas-Roberts
  • Melvin Ely
  • Jamario Moon
  • Darius Miles
  • Milton Palacio
  • Ruben Patterson
  • Eddie Robinson
  • Gregory Smith
  • Sebastian Telfair
  • Charles Watson Jr.
  • Antoine Wright
  • Anthony Wroten

The 34-year-old Williams also allegedly helped three co-defendants Ronald Glen Davis, Charles Watson Jr. and Antoine Wright obtain fake letters of medical necessity to justify some of the services on which the false invoices were based.

According to Dienst, who reviewed the grand jury indictment, the three-year scheme allegedly involved the former players submitting fake reimbursement claims for exams and procedures that were never done. The indictment alleges that they took in around $2.5 million from a total of nearly $4 million in fake claims.

Terrence Williams, the 11th overall pick in the 2009 draft, was allegedly the ringleader and is accused of having impersonated an insurance plan employee as part of the scheme.

Williams allegedly orchestrated the years-long scheme and recruited other NBA health plan participants to assist by offering them fake invoices to support their allegedly false health plan claims. He is accused of receiving kickback payments totaling at least $23,000 in return for providing the alleged false documentation.

Looks like he was told it was free money, and that many of his peers were taking advantage.

Darius Miles was the 3rd overall pick in his draft year, made $62 million in his career according to wiki, and filed for bankruptcy protection in 2016.

You don't typically value medical benefits when you are in your 30s, but these guys had coverages for the rest of their lives. Threw that away in this deal.

If tearing down cities isn't a crime, how is ripping off the NBA healthcare plan a crime? Sounds racist.
