Per prosecutors, Williams was the one running the show. He recruited other former players and non-medical professionals into the scheme in exchange kickbacks of at least $300,000.
He is also said to have fraudulent created and transferred letters of medical necessity for three players, impersonated health plan administrative managers and attempted to frighten one of his co-defendants into rejoining the scheme. In one case, prosecutors say he threatened a doctor involved in the scheme by using a bogus email account to impersonate the health plan and extract a"fine" of approximately $346,000.
Williams last played in the NBA in 2013. The 11th overall pick in the 2009 NBA Draft out of Louisville, he saw six seasons of sporadic action as a bench player for the New Jersey Nets, Houston Rockets, Sacramento Kings and Boston Celtics before playing another two seasons for several teams in foreign leagues.Your browser does not support HTML5 audio.
