U.S. Attorney Stephen Markman said Detroit Piston guard Isiah Thomas is not the target of a gambling investigation or federal criminal charges.
“While I am not, of course, able to describe the details of any grand jury investigation, given the prominence of Thomas and the attention that this matter has received, I would like to clarify the record as best I can at this time,” Markman said.
He said Thomas initiated contact with the FBI after a story about the gambling investigation was aired Friday, and he said Thomas has cooperated in the ongoing investigation.
The report, based on anonymous sources, said checks made out to Thomas were cashed at a grocery store owned by a man being investigated for money laundering.
