-------------------------------------------------------
Eighteen former NBA players were charged with attempting to defraud the NBA’s Health and Welfare Benefit Plan of nearly $4 million, officials said Thursday.

The defendants include Terrence Williams, Alan Anderson, Anthony Allen, Shannon Brown, William Bynum, Ronald Glen "Big Baby" Davis, Christopher Douglas-Roberts, Melvin Ely, Jamario Moon, Darius Miles, Milton Palacio, Ruben Patterson, Eddie Robinson, Gregory Smith, Sebastian Telfair, Charles Watson Jr., Antoine Wright, and Anthony Wroten.

Allen's wife, Desiree Allen, was also named as a defendant.

Those charged face a count of conspiracy to commit health care and wire fraud. By midday Thursday, 16 of the 18 accused players had been taken into custody, officials said.

“The defendants’ playbook involved fraud and deception," U.S. Attorney Audrey Strauss told reporters. "They will have to answer for their flagrant violations of law.”

Strauss called Williams, a 34-year-old Seattle native who spent four seasons in he NBA, the "scheme's linchpin," submitting false claims to the league's health care plan, federal prosecutors out of New York City said.

Several of the fake invoices and medical necessity forms stood out because “they are not on letterhead, they contain unusual formatting, they have grammatical errors,” according to the indictment.

Of course they do.
