NBA Gambling Ref Tim Donaghy to Appear in CNBC Film ‘Dishonesty’
A former NBA referee implicated for his role in a wagering scandal will be appearing in a new CNBC film “Dishonesty”. The program debuts Thursday May 28 at 10 pm EST.
The special program profiles five people whose lies caused unintended consequences for them, those around them and even people they didn’t know.
They never focused on what would happen if they were caught, instead while perpetrating deceit and in some cases, committing criminal acts, they found ways to justify what they did.
One of those profiled is Tim Donaghy, who was convicted and sentenced to 15 months in prison in 2007 after pleading guilty to two federal charges related to the gambling investigation.
It was revealed that Donaghy, who has a gambling problem, placed tens of thousands of dollars in bets on games during the 2005-06 and 2006-07 season and had been approached by low-level mob associates to work on a gambling scheme.
