You just summed up the difference between the Italian Maffia and the Russian maffia right there. One is full of academics who couldn't make a decent living legally in a communist regime. One is a group of thugs with the odd brilliant guy here and there. Both can be ruthless and violent though. Guess which one is which.
I saw a columnist on T.V. can't remember who saying David Stern wishes it was Shaq in a dog fighting ring vs. the events going on here. You can suspend the player involved and remove him from the game. In this case you have tampering in past results and the implications against the integrity of the game are far more damning.
