An Federal Bureau of Investigation undercover agent who played a key role in the government's probe of corruption in college basketball is being accused of using the government's money on gambling, food and drinks, the Wall Street Journal reports.
The FBI used undercover agents as part of their investigation seeking information on whether coaches and high-profile agents where willing to pay cash to persuade high school basketball recruits to sign with certain schools.
The agents posed as investors in a sports agency with the sole purpose of luring players and used expensive dinners, hotel rooms, and cash to do so.
