Toledo: Former Rocket Guard Charged in Points Shaving Scandal

Former Toledo forward Anton Currie pleaded not guilty to charges related to an alleged gambling scheme. According to the charges, Currie participated in a points shaving scheme that benefited Ghazi “Gary” Manni and Mitchell Karam, who bet more than $400,000 on Toledo games. Currie played all but three games for Toledo from 2003 to 2006. He was primarily a reserve with the Rockets, averaging no more than 18.9 minutes per game in a season. Six other Toledo football and basketball are named in the charges, which do not specify what the players allegedly received in return.
