Long Phi 'Bruce' Pham has been charged for placing bets on former NBA player Jontay Porter's games, knowing that Porter planned to withdraw from them. Pham was arrested at JFK airport in New York while attempting to flee to Australia. The group, including Pham and three others, allegedly made over $1 million in profits through bets on Porter, who accumulated gambling debts and was influenced to leave games early. While such controversies have not impacted pro football yet, this case indicates the potential risks involved in sports betting.
