On Friday, the U.S. Attorney’s of the Southern District of New York announced that former Washington Wizards player Alan Anderson was sentenced to 24 months, or two years in prison for his role in a health benefits scheme to defraud the NBA Players’ Health and Welfare Benefit Plan. In addition, Keyon Dooling was sentenced to 30 months, or two-and-a-half years in prison. Anderson was also ordered to forfeit $121,000 and pay restitution of the same amount.
In the scheme, Anderson, Dooling and other players involved would submit invoices for medical and dental services that weren’t as described, or not at all.
