It's also worth noting that Williams has been accused as being the mastermind of the operation and was the person who sent out the false claims to the NBA's Health and Welfare Benefit Plan. In the process, he reportedly made $230,000 from the other accused players.

We will have to wait and see what comes from this, but this is something that NBA fans would likely never have expected. Furthermore, updates will be provided when more information is revealed.
