Investigators say Big U intervened after “A.B..” and his crew allegedly scammed NBA athletes out of millions during a high-stakes dice match in June 2019.

According to court documents, “A.B..” masterminded the dice game, allegedly using loaded dice to fleece prominent NBA players. After realizing they’d been duped, the athletes reportedly turned to Big U to reclaim their lost cash.

A confidential informant, wired by federal agents, captured Big U on tape, admitting his involvement.

During a secretly recorded meeting in April 2022, Big U described confronting “A.B..” after the boxer allegedly cheated one current NBA All-Star out of $1.5 million and another former NBA standout out of $5 million.
