Overview
- Federal prosecutors indicted Beasley on June 29, 2026, on counts including sports bribery, wire fraud conspiracy, honest services fraud and money‑laundering conspiracy; he has pleaded not guilty.
- The 22‑page indictment alleges Beasley and named co‑defendants used non-public game information and agreed to manipulate on‑court performance to inform wagers, and it names former player Ed Davis among others.
- A viral TikTok posted on Aug. 19–20, 2026 by Montana Yao’s mother accused Beasley of abandoning his children and not paying child support, and Yao confirmed in comments that the account is her mother’s; Beasley has not publicly responded.
- Beasley’s on‑court peak in 2024–25 (319 three‑pointers, 16.3 points per game) and a reported three‑year, $42 million Pistons deal were later voided as scrutiny of his alleged betting activity grew, and he has since played outside the NBA.
- The criminal case will proceed in federal court under pretrial restrictions that bar gambling and contact with co‑defendants, and the outcome could bring criminal penalties, league discipline and further reputational consequences.
