Gilbert Arenas Denies Snitching On NBA Stars In FBI Gambling Investigation

Gilbert Arenas has strongly denied allegations that he snitched on fellow NBA figures Chauncey Billups, Terry Rozier, and Damon Jones in the FBI's extensive gambling investigation. While Arenas was arrested in July for allegedly running an illegal poker ring, he emphasized that his case is entirely separate and less complex than the one involving the others, which includes accusations of rigged poker games and illegal sports betting tied to organized crime. Arenas clarified that although he once joked about cooperating with authorities in his own case, he has no involvement in the arrests of Billups and Rozier, and criticized those who suggested otherwise. The FBI probe, which led to the arrest of more than 30 people across multiple states, involves a Mafia-led gambling ring with charges including conspiracy to commit wire fraud and money laundering. Arenas, known for his trolling nature, has repeatedly stated that he would not inform on others outside of his own legal situation and highlighted the distinct nature of the cases. His comments came amidst public speculation and media reports connecting him to the broader investigation, which he firmly rejected.
