Raptors’ Jontay Porter promoted gambling on social media years before NBA investigation
NY Post
Raptors forward Jontay Porter is in some hot water with the NBA after questions arose from his early exits from two game appearances on Jan. 26 and March 20.
Perhaps this problem was foreshadowed, though, in a stretch beginning in 2020, when Porter created an X account to promote his financial management maneuvers and more, including promoting a winning parlay during the 2022 NCAA Tournament.
“EZ parley (sic),” Porter posted.
The main purpose of the account, which he confirmed as belonging to him in a 2022 post, is to push his budding day trading career.
Porter said that he was a financial investment mogul, claiming to outperform hedge funds and having “turned $5k into $100k” while boasting he had done this a few times.
“Robinhood is my have fun account where I try to grow it as quickly as possible,” Porter said as a guest in the Bound to be Rich Podcast in 2023.
