Shane Hennen Arrested in NBA Betting Scheme

Shane Hennen, a Las Vegas gambler, was arrested at Harry Reid International Airport for his involvement in a fraudulent sports betting scheme linked to former NBA player Jontay Porter. Hennen allegedly profited from insider information regarding Porter's planned withdrawals from games, which he shared with other gamblers and placed bets through proxies. Porter, banned from the NBA, admitted to manipulating his performance for gambling purposes and pleaded guilty to conspiracy charges. The U.S. Attorney's Office has indicated that Hennen is among several conspirators involved in the scheme, with multiple arrests already made. If convicted, Hennen faces serious charges, including wire fraud conspiracy and money laundering, which could result in a lengthy prison sentence. The investigation continues as authorities look into the broader implications of this betting scandal.
