Overview
- Nevada Gaming Control Board investigators said they arrested one person in May connected to an alleged scheme of coordinated proposition bets tied to a Jan. 7, 2025 Fresno State game.
- The arrested suspect was booked into the Clark County Detention Center on May 5 and faces charges that include fraud, conspiracy to cheat at gambling and conspiracy to launder money.
- Regulators say their case rests on flagged sportsbook activity plus subpoenas of financial records and cellphone data that showed small wagers on a player’s statistical 'unders' paid out unusually large sums.
- The NCAA previously found Mykell Robinson, Steven Vasquez and Jalen Weaver violated gambling rules and declared them permanently ineligible after investigators concluded the bets were linked to intentional underperformance.
- The Control Board declined to identify the person arrested and said several additional suspects remain under investigation, signaling the criminal probe and potential further prosecutions are ongoing.
