Terrence Williams, 11th overall in the 2009 NBA draft by the then-New Jersey Nets, was the alleged ringleader of the scheme to defraud the plan, according to the indictment.
Williams allegedly recruited other NBA players by offering fabricated invoices to be used in false claims in exchange for the payment of kickbacks to him. According to the indictment, Williams received at least $230,000 in kickbacks from the players.
When one defendant failed to pay for the false documentation in kickbacks, Williams allegedly "tried to frighten the player into re-engaging" by impersonating an employee who processed the health-care plan claims and saying there was an issue, Strauss noted.
