The individual was accused of being the ringleader of a scheme to defraud the health plan of the league of billions of dollars by filing false medical claims. His guilty plea comes after he was charged with both of these offenses.

According to Reuters, Terrence Williams, a former player for the New Jersey Nets, pleaded guilty in front of United States District Judge Valerie Caproni in Manhattan.

Based on the article, the former player has come to an agreement to make reparations to the NBA in the amount of $2.5 million and to forfeit an additional $653,673 to the United States. According to Reuters, he faces a possible sentence of 10 to 12 years in prison, with an obligatory sentence of 2 years for identity fraud.

According to reports, prosecutors have accused Williams of encouraging athletes to submit fake invoices for medical and dental treatment that was not carried out, in exchange for payments amounting to at least $300,000.

According to reports, investigators contended that at least $5 million worth of bogus claims were submitted as part of the plan, with individuals benefiting to the tune of $2.5 million from the scheme.

Williams was also charged of assuming the identities of other people. According to a revelation by Reuters, this included a health plan manager who he allegedly impersonated in order to "frighten" a player who had not paid a bribe.

According to reports, six of the at least 24 people charged have entered guilty pleas. Based on the report, those who have been charged include an osteopath, a dentist, and a medical practitioner.

According to reports, a number of former players have pleaded guilty, including Chris Douglas-Roberts, Jamario Moon, Eddie Robinson, and Anthony Wroten.

Patrick Khaziran, a chiropractor in Los Angeles, is also said to have pleaded guilty, according to the reports.

Both former players for the Boston Celtics, Tony Allen and Glen Davis, have entered not guilty pleas. They are said to have received crowns on the same six teeth on the same day, and paperwork showed that Davis received crowns on eight teeth in Beverly Hills w
