Chauncey Billups, Terry Rozier arrested by FBI in gambling probe

This article doesn't seem to show how the investigations overlap, which was the intent of my question.

I don't need a specific cited source, I was inviting anybody who's got a strong take on the news to make the connection. If they're only currently connected through the mafia, then fair enough.

The overlap is that the FBI was investigating all of them concurrently and chose not to break one story until they could break all of them to avoid tipping anyone off that they were under surveillance. The answer to your question is that the Rozier story is not connected to Billups and Jones but Billups and Jones both participated in the poker games and Jones also profited from leaked injury data. As to how many people are involved in the leaking of injury absences, most of that remains hearsay though Pablo Torre is coming down hard on Ty Lue being a suspect which is interesting considering the LA Clippers are already in trouble for potentially paying their players under the table through middle-man endorsement deals and they're also ground central for "load management" becoming normalized ever since they signed Kawhi in 2019. Lue joined the Clippers as an Assistant Coach in 2019 and took over as Head Coach the following season.

Ah, ok, Damon Jones is the link between both cases (he's on both indictments.) Thank you, that's helpful

They don't overlap at all. It's just that they're both related to illegal gambling that had mafia ties. The mafia, quite literally, is the only connection here.

Also Chauncey Billups apparently ran the rigged poker games while also unrelatedly throwing games (tanking) as part of the betting scandal
