Federal prosecutors announced Thursday that criminal charges have been brought against 26 people, including NCAA players, alumni, and professional bettors, in connection with a sports gambling scheme spanning three years.

During a press conference on Thursday, David Metcalf, the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, alleged that the defendants orchestrated a "transnational criminal scheme" to fix NCAA Division 1 men's basketball and Chinese Basketball Association games, saying the racket "poisoned the American spirit of competition for monetary gain."

"When criminals pollute the purity of sports by manipulating competition, it doesn't just imperil the integrity of sports betting markets, it imperils the integrity of sport itself and everything that sports represent to us, you know, hard work, determination and fairness," Metcalf <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9VXhT_39yLw">said</a>.

"We allege an extensive international criminal conspiracy of NCAA players, alumni and professional bettors who fixed games across the country and poisoned the American spirit of competition for monetary gain."

Metcalf alleged that the point-shaving and sports bribery conspiracy began in China in 2022, when Antonio Blakeney—a former LSU All-American college basketball player and former NBA Chicago Bulls shooting guard—along with codefendants Marves Fairley and Shane Hennen, colluded to fix games in the Chinese Basketball Association.

"The scheme here was the defendants would identify a game in which a corrupted player had a team that was favored to lose and then they would bribe said player to deliberately underperform so that his team would lose by more than they were favored to," Metcalf said.

"The scheme proved lucrative. Mr. Hennen, we allege, texted a confederate that the only things certain in life were 'death, taxes, and Chinese basketball.'"

Prosecutors allege the operation was later brought to the United States and expanded into college basketball, enlisting other leaders and fixers, including trainers Jalen Smith and Roderick Winkler.

More than a dozen former college basketball players are also listed as defendants in the indictment, including Alberto Laureano, Arlando Arnold, Simeon Cottle, Kevin Cross, Bradley Ezewiro, Shawn Fulcher, Carlos Hart, Markeese Hastings, Cedquavious Hunter, Oumar Koureissi, Da'Sean Nelson, Demond Robinson, Camian Shell, Dyquavion Short, Airion Simmons, and Jalen Terry.

In a <a href="https://www.ncaa.org/news/2026/1/15/media-center-ncaa-president-baker-issues-statement-regarding-sports-betting-indictments-in-college-athletics-calls-on-remaining-states-to-ban-risky-bets.aspx">statement</a> issued Thursday, NCAA President Charlie Baker said "protecting competition integrity is of the utmost importance for the NCAA."

"We are thankful for law enforcement agencies working to detect and combat integrity issues and match manipulation in college sports," Baker added.

"The pattern of college basketball game integrity conduct revealed by law enforcement today is not entirely new information to the NCAA ... The Association has and will continue to aggressively pursue sports betting violations in college athletics."
