This is a much bigger issue than a dude betting on college football games at the team hotel

I bet this isn't looked into at all, even though it should be. I suppose his out is that he could say Scoot was "gaining serious momentum" at #2, not that he was #2. But he knew that simply tweeting that would move the odds.

He shouldn’t be employed by FD

Whatever his intentions

Colts used media mouthpieces to tie them to Levis all week leading up to draft because they didn’t want to trade up and they didn’t want someone to trade above them for AR.

Who knows what he was or wasn’t being told, by teams, by sportsbooks, by agents, etc. but 100% those tweets move markets and he is employed by a maker.

That link gotta go

I’m an idiot, but how is this not technically some form of insider trading? Or like, when brokers mislead stock holders?

Don't disagree, and honestly I'm kind of surprised a sportsbook would tempt fate with their reputation by employing an "insider." It's just a bad look, even if everything happening is above board.

Insider trading has to involve a security (stocks, bonds, etc.). If something nefarious was going on here (e.g., Shams put this bit of info out there, knowing it was not true, in an attempt to move the line), I would think it would be covered by various laws against fraud.

Especially with the timing. He sent it before people get home, hit the john or sit down to relax. Not the morning of or day before. Just sketchy all around
