Eighteen former NBA players have been charged with allegedly defrauding the league’s health insurance scheme of almost $ 4 million, New York prosecutors said Thursday.

Glen “Big Baby” Davis, who was part of the Boston Celtics side that won the 2008 NBA Championship, and Tony Allen – a six-time NBA All-Defensive Team member – were also charged in the scheme that allegedly ran from at least 2017 to last year. Prosecutors with the Southern District of New York say Williams recruited other players to the scheme by offering to give them fake invoices to support their fraudulent claims.

The indictment alleges that the accused submitted false claims totalling $ 3.9 million and that the players received about $ 2.5 million in fraudulent payouts.Strauss said that in some instances the co-conspirators had submitted false claims for the same root canal treatment on the same teeth on the same day.
