Let's go to the gray area. Sure. And I think there's an uh allegation around LeBron James here. Not that LeBron James did anything, but LeBron James was going to be out of a game or he was potentially injured. And these injury reports come out early in the day and they get updated as you go.

And people take them into account when they're betting on games, obviously. handicappers and the people who do it professionally. So what happened in one of these cases allegedly is somebody told their friends, oh, I don't think LeBron's gonna play tonight. He's he had tweaked his ankle. They tell their friends, they put action on the games, having that information an hour before the lines change.

Now if they say, hey, LeBron's not playing tonight and he's LeBron in his prime, the odds in the game would change dramatically. But if you get a bet in, you've got your bet locked in at that other bet. So is that illegal? Well if I just the injury status Jason was sold by uh allegedly um his friend and former LA Lakers coach Damon Jones.
