"The 31-year-old point guard formally entered the plea during his arraignment in federal court in Brooklyn on wire fraud and money laundering conspiracy charges, and was released on $3 million bond secured by his home in Florida and another property. Prosecutors say Rozier conspired with friends to help them win bets on his performance in a March 2023 game when he played for the Charlotte Hornets."
"He was also instructed not to gamble, have firearms or to have any contact with victims, co-defendants and witnesses in the case. Rozier, who's from Ohio, additionally surrendered his passport and was restricted to traveling between Florida, Ohio and New York unless granted prior approval. Rozier, wearing a gray suit, didn't speak in court other than to answer the judge's "yes" or "no" questions. He declined to comment afterward, but his lawyer, Jim Trusty, said his client was "excited" to begin mounting his defense against the charges."
Terry Rozier pleaded not guilty to federal wire fraud and money laundering conspiracy charges tied to alleged assistance to gamblers wagering on his NBA performance. Prosecutors allege Rozier conspired with friends to inform bettors he would leave a March 2023 game early, enabling tens of thousands of dollars in winning wagers. Rozier was released on a $3 million bond secured by property, surrendered his passport, and faces travel and contact restrictions, including a prohibition on gambling and firearms. His lawyer plans constitutional motions and seeks a speedy timeline; a March 3 hearing was set.
