As someone who has spent more than a decade researching the NBA betting scandal involving disgraced, discredited, and disturbed former NBA referee Tim Donaghy, I have informed thoughts on the recent Whistleblower podcast (in which I participated – 3 episodes and general assistance – because of my book Gaming the Game: The Story Behind the NBA Betting Scandal and the Gambler Who Made It Happen). My evidence-based assessments are presented in two parts below. NOTE: anything I write and post on my site is sourced no differently than my published journal articles and books (confidential law enforcement files, court documents, interviews of relevant authorities and persons, etc.).
