BREAKING: The Department of Justice has charged two Cleveland Guardians pitchers, Luis Ortiz and Emmanuel Clase, in sports betting and money laundering conspiracy. Image
Image
According to the federal indictment:

“With CLASE's knowledge and approval, Bettor-I, Bettor-2, and other Bettors used this information to place over a hundred fraudulent Pitch Speed and Ball/HBP straight bets and parlays on CLASE's
pitches on the Betting Platforms.” Image

At one point, per the indictment, Clase tried to throw a ball but the batter swung — resulting in a strike.

“Bettor-I” allegedly texted Clase a GIF of a man hanging himself with toilet paper. Clase replied with a GIF of a “sad puppy dog face.” (The Guardians won the game.) Image

🚨 UPDATE: A number of former pro athletes played at private poker games organized by those indicted by the DOJ in “Operation Royal Flush.”

One of them — according to multiple sources with direct knowledge of a game that took place in 2019 — was Kevin Garnett. @pablofindsout
🚨➕ A source close to Kevin Garnett tells @pablofindsout that Garnett initially thought he was going to an “afterparty” — not a poker game. And that he chose to leave the 2019 poker game, which was in LA, early.

Per source, Garnett has not been contacted by federal authorities.
@pablofindsout 🚨➕ Clippers head coach Tyronn Lue was also in attendance at the allegedly rigged April 2019 poker game in Las Vegas, sources with direct knowledge tell @pablofindsout.

But sources say Lue did not play at the same table as his good friend, Blazers head coach Chauncey Billups.

After the 9/10 NBA owners meeting, Adam Silver said: “I’d frankly never heard of the company Aspiration before. And I’d never heard a whiff of anything around an endorsement deal with Kawhi, or anything around engagement with the Los Angeles Clippers. So it was all new to me.” 🧵
But @pablofindsout just obtained a copy of Aspiration’s $300M+ “Founding Sponsorship Agreement” — which “must be submitted prior to its execution for NBA’s approval and shall not be effective or enforceable until it is expressly approved by the NBA.” Image
Image
Two immediate questions:

1) Why did Steve Ballmer’s $300M+ Aspiration partnership not reach Adam Silver's office before it was "expressly approved"?

2) Did no one inform Silver that Bloomberg reported on 1/18/24 that Aspiration was being investigated by the federal government?

A 🧵 about the new #ESPNDaily — and a twist in the saga of the Brett Favre welfare scandal ⬇️ open.spotify.com/episode/5gb2tF…
1. In late September, I interviewed Shad White, state auditor of Mississippi, about his investigation into Brett Favre. We wanted to know more about the millions in welfare money that got used on that volleyball facility at Favre’s alma mater:
2. But at one point, White almost casually told me that the volleyball stuff wasn’t even how Brett Favre first got onto his office’s radar. Because Favre was *also* the public face of a Florida-based drug company called Prevacus.

I started watching the movie Kyrie tweeted out to prepare for today's episode of @debatable. And if you were wondering exactly how insanely anti-Semitic it is, just know that they show this quote from "Adolph Hitler," as such: Image
Currently discussing all this with @Foxworth24 over at or right here: twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…
P.S. This is from the book that the movie is based on. It's written by the same director, and it has the exact same title. He calls the fact that 6 million Jews were killed during the Holocaust one of "five major falsehoods" (and blames "the Jewish controlled media"). Not subtle! Image
