Nassir signed with UNC yesterday.
I mean the legal ramifications.Nassir signed with UNC yesterday.
I doubt there is anything illegal about accepting money for playing basketball. Or for promising to play basketball at a particular university. If he was interviewed by the FBI and lied, now that is a very different matter.I mean the legal ramifications.
That and IRS trouble if the allegations are true and the coach starts singing.I doubt there is anything illegal about accepting money for playing basketball.

Just as an FYI, there were 7 indictments handed down this week in the FBI probe - one person who was not indicted was Brad Augustine - 1Family AAU coach.
Some legal analysts have suggested if an indictment wasn't handed down it possibly suggests the individual is cooperating with the FBI.
Eight of the 10 men have been indicted this week by a grand jury empaneled in New York. The contents of indictments and who hasn’t yet been indicted suggest the possibility that the first two defendants to cooperate with prosecutors could be Jonathan Brad Augustine, an AAU coach out of Florida, and Munish Sood, a financial planner from New Jersey.
Moreover, in court filings, the government requested “a continuance of 14 days” in the Sood case, “to engage in further discussions with defense counsel about the disposition of these cases” because “granting such a continuance best serves the ends of justice.” It was granted thru Nov. 9.
The others probably think that what they were doing wasn’t wrong and feel that they will be cleared once they go to trial.Dan Wetzel wrote that financial planner, Munish Sood, is also likely cooperating.

Yeah, I'd say the safe bet is that they're singing like canaries. Not sure why more haven't joined them.
Laying those aside, I think it is more likely CC-2 could clear Nassir than implicate him more deeply.That and IRS trouble if the allegations are true and the coach starts singing.

93%Wonder if they know what the conviction rate is for Federal Prosecutors - they don't lose many cases they bring to trial.
If i'm one of the other defendants - especially if I have had interactions with the 2 who haven't been indicted, i'm starting to get very nervous.
The longer you wait to flip, the less leniency they show on reduction of charges.

I fully agree. The FBI didn’t do all of this to slapI think you're right but that's pure arrogance on their parts.
I get that it seems like this is a situation where individuals are simply paying each other money. It seems like it's not illegal. But, think about it, these FBI people aren't doing this for fun.
If you go to trial, they're expecting to convict you. Otherwise, they wouldn't have brought the charges.
I read where the attorney for Dawkins is on his soapbox about not letting them "visit the sins of cbb on his client" or stte. I mean, I get it, Dawkins didn't start this mess but he's in it now. Telling him to ride it out, everything will be ok, is poor advice IMHO.
If they try to make this about 'well, cbb is dirty, we were just following business as usual', what do they expect the outcome to be? It's still illegal even if everybody accepted what they were doing. Therefore you. go. to. jail.
Nah, they have until April 15 to report it. No tax issues yet.That and IRS trouble if the allegations are true and the coach starts singing.
