Terrence Williams sentenced to 10 years in prison for fraudFormer NBA player ripped off health plan for former playersWilliams, 36, went to Nets with No 11 pick in 2009 NBA draft
A federal judge sentenced a former first-round NBA draft pick to 10 years in prison Thursday, saying he used his people skills to entice others to aid his $5m health care fraud after he “frittered away” substantial earnings from his professional career.
Terrence Williams, 36, of Seattle, was also ordered to forfeit more than $650,000 and to pay $2.5m in restitution for ripping off the NBA’s Health and Welfare Benefit Plan between 2017 and 2021 with the help of a dentist in California and doctors in California and Washington state. Profits were generated by claims for fictitious medical and dental expenses.
