Former NBA forward Terrence Williams was sentenced to 10 years in prison on Thursday for masterminding a scheme to steal $5 million from the National Basketball Association’s health care plan.
“Williams led a wide-ranging scheme to steal millions of dollars from the NBA Players’ Health and Welfare Benefit Plan,” the US attorney said.
“Williams recruited medical professionals and others to expand his criminal conspiracy and maximize his ill-gotten gains,” the prosecutor said. “Williams not only lined his pockets through fraud and deceit, but he also stole the identities of others and threatened a witness to further his criminal endeavors.”
