I Ran a Sports Betting Empire – Now I’m Going to Federal Prison | Matt Bowyer
Matt Bowyer was once the kingpin of one of the largest illegal sports betting operations in the country — taking wagers from athletes, celebrities, and high-rollers across the U.S. and moving hundreds of millions of dollars through his network. His operation became so big it even led to a Major League Baseball scandal that shocked the sports world.
