Kerr Kriisa arrested by FBI
- Thread starter BBN9
- Start date
Always thought him breaking his foot was a bad thing but this changed that drastically.
I won't pretend to know anything about this stuff , but this is RICO statute stuff, right? If so, oh man.
Sure took the FBI long enough to make their case.
I’m assuming someone rolled over.

The prosecution appears to be out of WV, so one might expect that a fair amount of his alleged bad actions happened in that federal district.
Unreal. It's so unbelievably stupid. These guys are getting paid now, pretty damn well, and beyond that in the NBA.
Malik Beasley made 59 million in the NBA. He and people connected to him were making prop bets on him for 10's of thousands. So here's some math Beasley apparently didn't do: If he won 5 thousand 10 thousand dollar bets, it still wouldn't equal what he made in the NBA (and he would have made a whole lot more- he was 28 his last season in the league and finished 2nd in 6th man of the year voting).
Now best case for him is staying out of jail, and he ain't playing another second in the NBA.

The indictment is likely sealed. The United States Attorney’s Office will likely put out a press release once it is unsealed.
When you refer to Yahoo, are you referring to actual Yahoo Sports articles, or to your Yahoo newsfeed?
Your Yahoo newsfeed is just showing you articles from a variety of sources that they think you might be interested in. So anything that refers to Kentucky might show up in your newsfeed, regardless of whether it's positive or negative or neutral or whatever. If you're consistently seeing more negative content, it might be one of the sources that has a bias, not Yahoo itself.
I'm referring to their sports page, on PC. It's really heavy on Duke and UNC articles. The biggest thing I notice is that even when UK has a great win or something else significant happens with UK babsketball, it is almost always buried beneath Duke and UNC articles that, in many cases, are fluff. Conversely, negative UK news seems to always find its way to the top. Maybe it's just me, maybe what you're saying is the answer, but I've been noticing it for several seasons now.
You could be right. I hardly ever look at their sports page. I do know that (for at least a lot of their site) they use your past clicks to determine what they think you'll be interested in and then show that kind of content to you again.
For example, if I click on an article about UCLA basketball, I'll start seeing more and more articles about UCLA basketball. If I then click on an article for Texas football, I'll start seeing more and more articles about Texas football.
Grabbing the ol calf muscle when your foot breaks
I kid I kid.Wonder how much he would get paid to take a injury at a certain point in the game.
Oh, I'm sure not clicking on 'baccer road articles
but I recognize these algorithms work that way.
I just Google searched it and I said I found multiple links which all had different titles. Chill out JFC. Also I never said it was a conspiracy, but go ahead with that narrative.
Highly doubtful, it would hang on West Virgina at best would be my guess if anyone even gets in trouble these days.
They always let people dig the hole so deep they have nothing they can do except take a plea and move on. Thats why they convict like 93% of cases or something absurd like that.
He also cost himself a new deal worth another 50 million plus he was about to sign. Total stupidity.
Oh there was definitely some times he looked like he didn't care. The problem with that is .. if you are throwing it you definitely are trying hard. Oweh looked as if he didn't care about anything in some games
I'm not a fan of the summer alumni games anyway, but I wish they hadn't added him. Just brings uk name into this and it's a bad look
Feds don't play. I could be wrong but I think it's about 98%. Like you said they usually don't move until they absolutely know they have a case.
Not sure how they operate when it comes to basketball gambling but it looks about the same as dope dealers..they will let them go five to ten years thinking they are In the clear then bam.
The feds have a high conviction rate, but it is really not as impressive as the numbers sound.
The majority of the time the defendant will do some kind of plea, not admitting to guilt and pay a fine. Most of the time it is way way cheaper to pay a fine than to fight the feds who have unlimited money. The college basketball recruiting scandal involved tons of people and only a handful got locked up. They count that as 100 percent in their stats.
Having done fed time myself im not sure where you are getting the fine part from. You make it sound like a slap on the wrist. If the feds get you you're doing time guaranteed. Also taking a plea when you know you don't have a chance at trial is an admission of guilt.
Also they are taking everything you own or associated with. They would take your kids if they could. I'm not saying this in a argumentative way but you might have to enlighten me. I'm a little confused on your take.
You will most definitely have fines and stuff but you don't gotta worry about that until you finish your time that you will most certainly get. Now it may be different dealing with basketball stuff but I highly doubt it. Again I'm not saying you were wrong just the way you said it makes it sound like a cakewalk and community service

You might be onto something tho because I have been confused seeing all the NBA players getting federal indictments and still walking the street so maybe it's different for athletes lol
Huh? If you plea you are committing to time, fine, and often forfeiture. And, admitting to the elements of the crime to which you plea. That admission will be under oath before a Court that must accept your plea. Federal prosecutions rarely (I mean rarely) plea out with someone not going to jail.
What an absolute idiot. The former Arizona Wildcat, Cincy Bearcat and West Virginia Mountaineer is in for a rough time.
Just came to post this. WTF. The extra year of NIL wasn’t enough? That is seriously messed up.
holy **** Kerr Kriisa was an absolute scam artist it seems like
“ he promised to sell his organs to repay loans on his family farm in Estonia”
“ he promised to sell his organs to repay loans on his family farm in Estonia”
Innocent until proven guilty applies as always, but you have to be an actual psychopath to claim your mother has cancer in order to scam people out of money. There's no redeeming people like that.
Funny how it’s not point shaving.
I am predicting you get silence in response.
