Federal prosecutors have accused Deniro Laster, a friend of NBA player Terry Rozier and co-defendant in a gambling case, of witness tampering through social media posts featuring a rat emoji. They have requested the revocation of Laster’s bail due to alleged violations of release conditions and intimidation tactics. Laster is implicated in selling insider information related to Rozier’s game attendance for fraudulent bets, while Rozier’s attorneys argue he was unaware of the scheme. Both face charges including conspiracy to commit money laundering and wire fraud, with their trial set for February 8, 2027.
