Same punishment that clowns want for Ohtani since they believe he did the same thing as Porter

Not only he is dumb but so are his betting pals. They didn't think they'd flag an $80K bet on... Jontay Porter? Nobody in their right mind would put that much money on a random player like him without having some sort of inside knowledge

Is it enough? The gambling money will increase; the names will get bigger.

They already caught the biggest player in baseball and covered it up

It's funny how people keep this narrative going, that interpreter sure is one helluva fall guy i guess.

Cuz he's gonna do close to 10 years in FedPen (faces up to 30) and then likely be deported as he's not a citizen.

Funny how Voight keeps liking posts that have Ohtani slanders in them. Seems like he’s got something personal against Ohtani.

From the outside this looks like the kind of thing that happens when you owe some not so great people and they start turning the screws.

Well his lawyer sure thinks Porter is one fine young upstanding citizen.

from cbssports.com:

The lawyer representing Jontay Porter, the Toronto Raptors forward who was given a lifetime ban by the NBA for betting on his sport, said his client was "in over his head" dealing with a gambling addiction.

In a statement sent to The Associated Press, Porter's lawyer, Jeff Jensen, said the Raptors forward is undergoing treatment and cooperating with authorities.

“Jontay is a good young man with strong faith that will get him through this. He was in over his head due to a gambling addiction," the statement read. "He is undergoing treatment and has been fully cooperative with law enforcement."
