Jack Molinas was once one of basketball's brightest stars — a 6'6" Ivy League prodigy with movie-star charisma and a gambler's soul. From the playgrounds of New York City to an NBA All-Star, he was living live... until the bets caught up with him.
Suspended for wagering on his own team, Molinas reinvented himself as a lawyer — only to become the criminal mastermind behind the 1961 college point-shaving scandal that rocked the sport. After prison, he resurfaced in Los Angeles chasing fame, fortune, and the wrong crowd. In 1975, his story ended like a Hollywood noir — gunned down outside his hillside home.
In this episode, we detial the arc of a man who blurred the line between genius and corruption and brought down dozens of college athletes in the process.
