Philly Gambler Sugar Shane At Center Of Global Game-Fixing Probe
Philadelphia-based professional gambler Shane Hennen, aka 'Sugar Shane,' is accused in a sweeping federal investigation of leading a global sports-betting conspiracy that prosecutors say bribed players and trainers to fix dozens of NCAA games and placed fraudulent bets on NBA and Chinese Basketball Association games; authorities say the operations were run from Rivers Casino Philadelphia, involved six-figure wagers and straw bettors, and tied to players like Jontay Porter and Terry Rozier, with Hennen facing multiple indictments and plea negotiations after a January arrest.
