Prosecutors allege that Hennen received information about the scheme from conspirators who were in contact with Porter, distributed the tips to other gamblers and placed bets through proxies.
Porter pleaded guilty to a federal conspiracy crime in July and is awaiting sentencing. He told a court that he participated in the scam "to get out from under large gambling debts."
According to the complaint, Porter sustained an eye injury while playing for the Raptors in a Jan. 22, 2024 game against the Memphis Grizzlies and was diagnosed with a corneal abrasion.
During that game, Porter texted two co-conspirators, "I went back to locker room to get eye checked on. Idk if imma play much more. I'm Not starting second half. But if it's garbage time I will shoot a million shots."
