In response to Stuart Suss
Well, of course one can waive the Fifth Amendment right to be silent. And his job considerations with the Celtics may compel him to speak. I do not believe he is liable (potentially) under the Travel Act as a commercial bribery violation does not fit the definition of "unlawful activity" as I read 18 U.S.C.1952(b). But I agree that unless the Celtics require it, he is unlikely to talk about this. However, it should not be hard for investigators to look at other marginal players he recruited and investigate for payoffs.
All of this being said, I cannot see any kind of innocent explanation for this, and that includes "I didn't know it was wrong." (not that that is a defense).
