Today’s story involves everything from the five families of the New York mafia, x-ray glasses at rigged poker games, FBI arrests and huge bets placed on inside information. As the NBA was rocked by an illegal sports gambling scandal, Gabby and Mark catch up with Andy Hughes (Host of The Crime Agents and Crime Correspondent for LBC) and Mike Vorkunov (The Athletic's Basketball Business Reporter). How did the mafia infiltrate U.S. sports? Will America regret embracing sports gambling in 2018? And is the integrity of the game shot?
