23:06 All Bets Are On
The NBA was so concerned about sports gambling they decided to partner with all of the online gambling sites. Same with the NFL.
Idk if u follow ⚽️ but look up the name Ivan Toney .. this guy is currently suspended for betting on his own goal scoring props while his team Brentford FC wears a Hollywood Bets sponsor on the front of their jersey
#irony
Same in the Premier League...they just banned another player for EIGHT months for betting violations. The same player plays on a team with a betting company as the main sponsor...on their shirt and everything. The whole thing is so stupid
Well u get closer not farther apart😭😭
And? Your point? You think in a free country, in America, you should be able to gamble your money as you please? Get over yourself. No one in the NBA or NFL has ever been caught, and no one in baseball since Pete Rose.
@@optimalpowersimracing6625 Did you watch the video? Its about a ref gambling on games.
I don't think he's the only ref betting.
I always said nba is rigged
It’s probably so easy to do
120% no doubt!!!
Scott Foster
@clevelandtx 2 fontaine I actually think it's easier to rig the nfl than the nba but I guess it depends
YOU WOULD BE A FOOL TO THINK THERE IS NOT ANOTHER TIM IN THE NBA RIGHT NOW.
" the NBA giving pre game instructions to the referees". Most damming statement in the piece but ignored by many!
Ya it’ll go over most people heads
Lmaoo its a known fact that ref's get memo's before each game... Its nothing new and known by everyone that follows the league.. The coaches, and people ESPN literally talk about it. When Draymond got suspended they literally talked about how it would change the officiating between Kings and Warriors.
@Optimal Power Sim Racing The warriors won that series right!
@@chrisbarnes2973 and that has to do with? The warriors won because of pre-game memo's? Get over yourself and please use your brain... Realistically you think refs just trot up and ref the game? You don't think they are giving things to look after, things they missed the game before? Yikes lmao You literally said something that is known by everybody who follows the sport and in the sport is the most damming statement... Lolol The most damming statement is the NBA trying to say this guy never fixed a game, when in reality, everyone knows the fix was in. The NBA just won't admit it, they want history to say no game was ever fixed.
@Optimal Power Sim Racing hey there's no reason to personally attack people, says alot about were your at in life.
Never Forget: Tim Donaghy said in his book, the 2006 NBA finals were rigged. The refs were calling fouls in favor of the Heat.
We didn't need Tim to tell us that.
Dirk should of had two rings but the refs weren’t being fair
3:11 Also bought by Donaghy 🙄
His book was never published
Games 3 and 5 were highly suspicious. Same with 2002 Western Conference Finals, games 6 and 7.
Donaghy said the NBA sent "company men" to make sure the series went long, for TV revenue, and the right team won.
Every basketball fan should read his book. It will ruin the game for you but you need to know the truth.
Yup . It’s all Business
Sports Entertainment.
I can't read ! Put a spoiler on the spicy parts
what’s the name of it ?
@proud goyim
Tim Donaghy could have been a blessing in disguise for the NBA. But the league missed the opportunity to clean up the culture. The fact that Donaghy was shown to be totally above board in his cooperation with both the league and the FBI in the investigation means that he pointed the way to widespread problems like referees allowing their personal regard for certain players to influence their officiating and how the loose-lipped way of dealing with inside information fed the gambling beast, including those in organized crime. But the NBA's attitude was "Donaghy was an embarrassment, now he's gone, so let's get back to business as usual."
Very true. The fbi suspected other refs were involved and were going to use donaghy as an informant but stern went to the media to try and save what integrity the NBA had left.
there were fan theories that its because David Stern himself is manipulating matches for better fan viewership, etc etc.... and Tim donaghy might expose it, so the NBA never went with Tim and FBI on cleaning it up.
The. FBI suspected other refs? They’re all doing it, because they’re being instructed to do so. The league didn’t miss an opportunity to clean up the culture, because they don’t want to clean it up. There’s too much money coming to the league in the form of gambling for them to want to clean it up. Sports are real, in that the players are the best of the best in the world, but the outcomes of the games are fabricated. If the masses realized this, the sports world would be ruined.
The NBA like all major sporting leagues are a business first, it's all rigged, the NBA knows full well what's going on, they are behind it lol
Tom Brady's run in the NFL is a point of interest too. All that winning, deflate gate pushed under the rug, he changed to a super team at 40 and won the very first year....it's just good business, it pays to have the players that people love, actually playing (LeBron James constant finals runs)
Refs have been impacting the game with the whistle for years, they're actually supposed to (balancing the fouls out, making up for missed/bad calls, managing game flow)
"gotta beat them by 15 to win by 1" (said many of LeBron's opponents in game 7's)
@@alwillkStern needed to move it along before a real investigation got going...
Happening in every sport now with the legalized betting and their sponsorship of sports. It's so obvious that it's embarrassing.
It’s definitely rigged. It’s very scripted.
That’s why it’s not even real to me anymore
Donaghy is so calm he could easily pass a lie detector test.
Yeah I think he’s covering for nba owners and executives, and mob bosses. With the threat of being killed or his family. With that being said, he knows he could easily slip up and say something incriminating about others. So I think that’s why he’s so eerily calm. Something very fishy about this
@@KentuckyWildcatFan exactly what I was thinking he’s saying he was getting paid without saying he was getting paid😭😭
He's a psychopath.
Mans was sweating bullets
Yes, he was likely working for the mob.
Just by being an "insider," allowed this guy to win 80% of his bets. It's difficult to argue that the most powerful players on Wall Street aren't effectively "insiders" as well. And that's if they genuinely aren't trading insider knowledge with each other routinely.
czcams.com/video/ASMU6i9JwMU/video.html
Company’s on wall street don’t have as much “insider data” as you think. I work in IT and have worked for 3 fortune 50 companies. Their was no huge inside information for any 3 of them. And they all had multiple massive hundred million dollar contracts being signed on the regular.. but that was just business as usual. Their never was a crazy stock price turn…
@@charlessmith3940 😂😂😂 riiighttt
we also have stock buying periods. We have to report any activity..And anyone of our family members, or members of our house hold cannot buy. Plus every single thing we do is regulated to the max, then independently audited. So yea.. the top execs make crazy money through performance bonuses though. Most company Stock prices have been more tied to the overall economy then some insider information.
@@charlessmith3940 you're as clueless.
Sports Gambling culture overtaking the USA is sickening.
Tbh leagues is promoting more than anyone. What In the world you need FanDuel ads for every 2 mins? Why do you need to publish odds and handicaps for every game in the media?
Fun Fact: 70% of the refs of that time, are still in the league calling games. Can someone tell us that this isn't happening today?
If you watched any games you’d see it still is.
La made a huge run outta nowhere lol if you bet La for the 2nd half of the season you made big money
@@emceesleftovers2870 was (obviously) a retorical question! 🤦🏻♂️
@@emceesleftovers2870 they ain’t cheat for la, lmao they were cheating La all year lmao
@@bfed662 Right People were joking about how those refs had to cover a BET on that obvious LBJ missed call against Boston that happened after the All star break. Now to me its not such a joking matter.
@@bfed662 bro that’s a facts
Fixed matches are real, I paid for a match and I got what I paid for, it came out positive
It is, I Know of a source but it's really expensive
Hey man I need to make money, how much is the rate for match fixing from your source
I get my fixed from (MARKSON FIXED MATCHES )
Where to search??
On telegram
Sacramento Kings
Actual 2002 NBA Champions
Two words Scott Foster, most controversial ref who because of his bad calls will be coaching in this year's NBA finals
For awhile it was easy to bet against Chris Paul because of this. Now that everyone caught on, Scott is trying to clear up his image
@@leinadcruz96 yes he tried help the heat on game 4 vs the Celtics despite his bad record with them
That man ain’t lying about the NBA extending the series for money…it’s really pretty obvious…I believe the ref !
Celtics about to be proof of that
@@dramatyst5661 my exact thoughts !
100% agree with you! Finally someone that keeps it real! I will forward your video to all my friends! Especially the ones with no character that saying Devin won! Nobody can say that if they saw this fight!
Would they have to rename 60 minutes 'About 38 minutes' if they had no adverts?
3:30 "Knowing the *information* that I have, I didn't have to do anything ON the court to pick a winner; I could pick a winner 80% of the time just knowing what I knew an hour before the game"
Damn, what kind of INFORMATION is THAT?!
He knew by the refs assigned to the game…….it was fixed and has always been fixed
Nah he knew which refs liked or disliked certain people.
He said it in this interview. He knew which refs were calling which games, and which refs favored which players and teams. Plus injury and line-up info.
Of course the NBA would deny his allegations. But a referee who win's 75-80% of his bets on inside information just knowing how referees will call games? Stern went to his grave knowing that a lot of it is rigged.
They denied the allegations coz they knew they'd look bad and go out of business
It's sickening what this ref did and what these refs do to the players they don't like.
... USA! USA! UNITED STATES OF ARROGANCE 🎉🎉🎉
Is the media any different?????
How many fouls the media call to swing games?
What he do just follow the orders
4 What did he do just followed orders
The NBA is definitely still pulling strings to influence what direction playoff series go in
Scott foster did it to the suns they went up 2-0 then Scott foster comes back they lose series even 3-3 who refs 😂😂😂😂 Scott foster Chris Paul is 0-11 vs him before then
i wanted sports gambling for years. we finally got it but i didn’t know it was like this. it has taken over sports in a matter of seconds.
No going back now! Once they saw all that money, they sold their souls and it's all down hill from there!
it’s been like this since the begining literally nothing new
bill russel and wilt chamberlin were point shaving back in the day
muhammad ali was apart of many rigged fights
this is not new at all!!!!
Facts
It just creates a huge incentive to fix games.
Yes The NFL seems extremely corrupt lately
He wasn't the only one and it still goes on today
This man is why i will always question allen iversons non ring career .
Because Iverson has/had a poor attitude. Me, Me, Me. He just wanted his 22 shots a game.
He basically says that AI hadn't had any chance of winning a single championship ring yet not one things been done with those refs to this day.
@al d Whatever you think of Iverson personality wise isn't cause for illegal actions against him on the court by the very people who are paid to ensure the integrity of the NBA. Obviously, it's all a billion dollar scam by the NBA and selected hate campaigns by everyone else involved.
@@Kenny-zv4ppproof?
There's several HOF caliber players of all generations who don't win.. AI didn't have enough talent in Philly, Nuggets had talent but the West was just outright loaded
They’re still favoring teams and players with calls it’s very obvious

The referees should be ashamed
I’ve had a normal exposure to gambling growing up. It was actually seen as an outing, where we would go on holiday to a casino resort (gambling was very regulated in South Africa at the time). It just seemed and seems like such an awful pastime. Even to this day I feel like I’d rather throw my money in the trash. I’ve noticed this real increase in sports betting in USA, CZcams-based ads etc. it’s an awful awful addiction.
Like for most people they never even spend their winnings, just play a computer game or phone game?
"Losing their coach cost San Antonio the game" - stated as if it was a provable fact
100% proof that the Referees control the outcome of the NBA games! Just watch the games now. Fouls are not called intentionally
he's the fall guy, him and the NBA have an agreement thats why he was able to keep his benefits.
That’s also why his family is still alive. I guarantee if he came out with the truth, his children would be gone. No wonder he doesn’t tell the WHOLE truth
@@KentuckyWildcatFan yep, I see why Stern did it this way. It saved the league ultimately
@@KyngKy502 yeah I’m sure there were a lot more nba corporate leaders in it as well. Owners/stock holders etc. I really feel bad for Tim at the end of the day. Just because so many others especially stern deserved the same treatment. You know stern had a stamp of approval at the end of the day, so you’re correct. This scapegoat scheme ultimately worked well. The NBA may be the top sport in America if not the globe in 15-30 years.
Precisely. Good post. Tim said enough. Stern complained about him enough, but let enough slide so that the league could move forward.
Absolutely
Foster is out doing him now 😂😂
And tony brothers also
His eye movement throughout is actually very indicative of telling the truth. Crazy. I began watching this thinking I was about to see a 60 minute Lance Armstrong type confessional... I ended up watching a guy honestly and publicly admit he was defeated by an addiction... and even more important, he blew the whistle (no pun intended) on how the game is REALLY being corrupted.
The government is in on it he admitted he cheated Iverson ...
Funny, because I saw a guy who doesn''t take responsibility for his actions (beyond getting caught) and blames "addiction" along with everyone else. This is over a decade old though. NBA is about as real as professional wrestling for sure.
I knew college and professional sports were corrupt over 15 years ago. I didn't want to believe that something I enjoyed so much as a kid was collectively tainted, but when you start betting on these things, you realize exactly what's going on. Where there is money, there is bound to be corruption. The "missed" and "controversial" calls that happen every other game are not accidental. The refs do exactly what needs to be done to benefit the sportsbooks based on how much money has been bet on a certain side. If you're truly a world class official, you wouldn't make any mistakes, let alone during critical junctures that decide the point spread or over/under.
@@rustyshackle917 this is one of those cases where taking responsibility doesn't go hand in hand with being ashamed. And I can't really address the addiction issue because it doesn't seem like you are the type that believes in the power of addiction and that's understandable unless you're one yourself... It's a blessing to be able to not be affected by a life controlling addiction and I wish I could say the same. Have a great day.
@@Zenigundam So true... and I'd have to think that basketball has been one of those games where a ref could easily make a handful of calls without much notice simply due to the fact that they are so involved in every aspect of the game from fouls to mundane whistle blows hen someone talks back or steps out of bounds. I think the ability to challenge foulds should've been implemented 20 years ago.
Portland and Sacramento got robbed by this dude. I remember screaming about some of his horrible calls me made against those two teams
💯
True. He was later questioned about the Portland calls, and how Rasheed Wallace came at him. He said he owed Wallace an apology.
Hate Tim or not, that alone tells you something.
Sacramento Kings 2002 NBA CHAMPIONS
The players make millions. I doubt they consider themselves as being "robbed".
You really think it’s more likely that one person outsmarted the NBA than the NBA being involved also?
One thing I do believe is NBA favors large market teams and name brand players. But a lot has changed financially in NBA since 2009. Many small market teams have big time players too, so there’s a bit more parity.
Agree. It can't be THAT rigged, or New York would have made deeper playoff runs over the years.
But bias obviously exists. Same in all sports to a degree.
@@PhilAndersonOutsidefalse! It’s rigged enough to help the Lakers eliminate the Warriors.
Yup larger markets draw more money domestically and globally
Like 2021 finals when they allowed giannis to shoot 85 ft
@rtothe7068 you mean the Warriors that struggled all year and barely made the playoffs? The Warriors with well known lockerroom beefs and fights during practice? Klay was bad all season, Wiggins was missing, Poole was clearly outta sorts and Draymond was clearly aged.
NBA games are even more rigged than this now

This should prove beyond doubt that sports betting is too slimy to get involved in. Unless you know that the "fix" is in, you are completely in the dark in wagering your money.
This is hugely packed. I imagine the next iteration will have a story on NIL tacked on.
And now he's cashing in with book deals.
now the NBA is going to have to deal with Nuggets vs Heat finals instead of Lakers vs Celtics lmao
He was not a lone wolf
That's the key point in my eyes
The NFL and NBA are such crooked organizations. The only reason Tim Donaghy got caught is because he got sloppy. There is absolutely no doubt that the NBA still does it’s best to rig many games to obtain certain matchups or to extend a series so they can generate as much revenue as they can possibly get. It’s obvious, though, that sometimes it doesn’t work despite their obvious attempts simply because the team the NBA wants to lose is unexpectedly hot and makes a very high percentage of their jump shots which foils the efforts of the NBA to succeed in fixing that game. The NBA knows they must be as discreet as possible, so they can’t call fouls EVERY time, but just enough to slow any momentum gathered and deposit it to the team they need to win. But if that team is making many of their shots despite obvious favoritism towards the other team, there isn’t much the officials can do despite their attempts to fix the outcome.
Those are just your opinions unless and until you provide evidence. You sound like a nut job though
boxing aswell
Of course it's rigged look at lebron James him having rings is proof
@@Earl3333 AGREED
So that means Boston is coming back down 0-3
If you don’t think this is still going on and refs are not betting you’re foolish. They probably have somebody do it for them because it’s so easy to do on the phone or go to a casino
nice piece
This guy is 100% honest ; It is a question of addictive gambling ,without cheating the games ! I hope you got my drift
He admitted he fixed the game against Iverson idiot!!
I feel you, its unexplainable!
his biggest lie was he only won 100 grand and spent it all on gambling....if he said he used it for buying a house and cars, the IRS would have been involved...he is lying to protect himself
@@brianbanks3044 While there must be some truth to what you are saying, my understanding is during this entire process he lived in the same house in Pennsylvania and didn't blow a lot of money. Now, that doesn't mean it wasn't/isn't hidden somewhere else...
If you think he was the only one you are sadly mistaken
When asked why, he says "I wasn't thinking" - no, you WERE thinking -its not an 'accident' - no one accidentally bets on a game they know they're refereeing! Thinking about it is exactly why you did it!!!
When I was watching the Kentucky Derby on TV this year I noticed there were a ton of commercials about how to bet on the races
The AI segment sounds familiar w Steph now. The free throw disparity against the Lakers made that pretty obvious.
Damn shame and it still goes on till this day
This guy apparently has a photographic memory. His recollection of what they did to Iverson is appealing.
Referees influence games all the time. As a sports bettor, I really try to focus on games that are not popular.. like a regular season MLB game. Games like NFL playoffs and NBA playoffs are always influenced.
If people think this is not happening now they are gullible the nba has to please owners and their ad revenue and they do this by simply telling refs who they need to win and ref the game accordingly
Found it suspicious how Scott officiated games 3 and 6 Un 2021 finals but then the next year he only officiated game 3
I’m not shocked nor surprised by anything he said. Players I’m sure aren’t surprised either. Reds, cops, judges…bias always creeps in.
I’ll never forget the BS call he made on Steve Nash during a Suns vs Spurs game. It was so obvious he tried to fix that game and bet on the Spurs.
How can you say that betting against the Sixers while knowing that you are going to make bad calls on Iverson, is clean?
Exactly. That's why this was hard to digest.
I love how they call it “gaming” and not what it is, gambling which is a scam that only benefits the betting companies not anyone else. FOH.
Yup. And when you win too much. The betting companies can cut you off or limit you to 10 cent bets.
@@t1mmah Just like Casinos, win too much they can stop you
@@kiddthomas3375that just tells that their are bigger entities behind it…how is it legal to kick you out for beating the house? that’s because the states are profiting from the casinos…it’s just another tax on middle and lower class people
He didn’t need to fix the game. David Stern was fixing games
Stern sent refs after Ai
100% this is what’s going over most people’s heads in this comment section
much respect for a man admitting his mistake and being honest about it than someone who is hiding something and everyday being a hypocrite
He got caught, he didn't just turn himself in
Any gambler that says I’m not thinking about the bet during the game just revealed themselves as a liar
Get you a girl that treats you like the lakers treated kobe 😂
The reporter asked "what's a point spread"? Why was he allowed to report this story if he doesn't know what a point spread is? Maddening!
He’s not asking question because he doesn’t know. He’s asking this question, anticipating there are viewers that don’t know what a point spread is.
@@savan30i agree with what your saying, but the way he asked, is like he didn’t know himself lol
They tried to extend the series for Leflop James.
I watched those Lakers games that he fixed and i could tell they were fixed
If Tim wasnt exposed then the nba would say we have zero fraudulent referees.
it’s crazy how every one acts like the ref can’t tell their wife or cousin or brother or uncle or aunt or mom or dad or sister or friend to bet for them and get a cut
"The NBA likes to extend playoff series to boost ratings," and the Heat just lost game 6 at home after winning the first three, game 7 coming up on Monday memorial day, coincidence???
Crazy part is, it’s clear that it’s always been the storyline. All those Celtics/Lakers finals. All those Bulls finals. Miami Heat, Cavs, Warriors. It helps me to not be so emotional about the games and just enjoy them for what they are! IMO! 🙏🏾👊🏾
This guy is a smart maniac. Those ppl are the most dangerous ones.
very timely😁
Games are fixed - I live in Vegas - we know
The NFL, MLB, AND NBA are inviting this to happen now. Everybody is sponsored by a gambling platform, and in the past 2 years, there's been nearly a dozen suspensions for gambling on games FROM CLUB FACILITIES!!
"Never seen anything outlandish " which means they saw things but it wasn't that bad
I've watched this story about 10 times I can't get enough of it
we’ve seen them extending the heat series now
@@gtaatmiami I was literally about to comment the same exact thing. I live in Boston, told everyone, there's no way the Celtics get swept. There would have been 9 days until the first finals game if they did
@@richlewis1879 lol exactly. No way NBA allows two sweeps in the conference finals and sacrifices millions. The turnovers the Heat are suddenly committing since the second half of Game 4 have been forced by reach ins that haven’t been called. Plays like Bam getting his arm whacked and obviously losing the ball. I noticed we wouldn’t see any close up replays of these steals for this reason. It’s disturbing.
@@gtaatmiami I'm just glad it's going our way here. Although celts could easily lose tomorrow or game 7. 🤛👍
@@gtaatmiami NHL too. Dallas won to extend last night. Both series would have been sweeps
I have no doubt that the NBA games are arranged, in my humble opinion David Stern was a top offender. And I have no doubt that every Los Angeles Laker game is arranged.
Makes me wonder how many others have been , and / or are doing it still. Think about how many bad, silly calls have been made over the years.
watch evry lakers game and you'll find out 😂😂😂😂
Just looking at how long this video is, shows exactly why conventional TV, and by extension Cable and Satellite services, are failing. The show is on for an Hour, yet it's actually ONLY about 38 minutes. Which means over 35% of the show is useless commercials. Nobody wants to waste 35% of their time. It's just way WAY too greedy by these TV companies. A few commercials is fine but when it's more then a third of every show, it becomes extremely problematic. At least we got CZcams, who as of now understands that limiting adds is extreme important.
its always been hilarious when companies and governments make money off it they call it "Gaming". When they dont they call it illegal Gambling
Ironic part is a ref who made 300k got involved with the mob over $2,000 a game and claims he only made $100,000 hitting 80% of his picks.
He is either a horrible money manager or he wasn't even trying to get money down..
You win some and you lose Some
Unbelievable restraint!
Wild.
I remember the game where he kind of exposed himself. He called like 3 travels on Allen Iverson when he clearly didn’t travel. Iverson spazzed out so bad and that’s when they really started looking into him. He just got too greedy and a lot of people were saying he was a dirty red because he made it so obvious.
This is still going on today 100%
I find it funny that after speculations of the NBA rigging games in this years playoffs this old video gets resurfaces.
After the the interview:
"Bob let me hold 5 grand"
I wouldnt be surprised if hes the head behind Fanduel 😂😂😂
Lmfao 😂
@@grandmastagrimm8773 😂 fr man

Still Gambling lol
NBA is crooked and we all knew it. There’s no way that big market teams always keep winning championships while my Wizards always stink year after year for decades.
"I could pick the games 70-80%" that means you fixed it
And it’s still going on today..
They should tell the players too stop shooting 3 pointers it’s getting ridiculous….
What a timing lol
You can't tell me NFL officials don't do the same thing for mahomes and the chiefs
This is paid sponsorship by the nba to clear up doubt 😂😂😂
A.I. won at least 3 Chips if the refs had been honest. 🏀 🏆
This would make a fantastic movie to base this off of
I can't ever take the NBA seriously ever again lol
😂😂😂😂so
Safe to bet he's not the only one...
-1000
Question: If they do this in the NBA... I wonder how this "bias" works in the Legal profession (judges, lawyers, police) ?
Asking too many questions now
I think its safe to say sports are the little fish in the pond of corruption. If you trust politicians on either side of the aisle, you just may be an idiot. I firmly believe that the hate you see every election cycle amongst rival candidates is purely theatrical. Your elected officials are likely great friends who conspire together to sow division amongst us for votes.
It now begs the question: Do people like the NBA stars because they've done so well, and not really because they've done so well, but because they've done so well getting away from the referee's calls without the fans even realizing it?
Watching Tim Donaughy go on (former) player’s podcast and get attacked but have honest conversations with them is helping with the anger from the ex players. Tim Donaughy doesn’t have to do that.
They pay him for it lol. He’s not doing it just out of the goodness of his heart or for fun. He’s a gambling addict, he’s probably dead broke.
@@tedkendall7002 they don’t pay him thousands to go on these podcasts, IF he gets paid. These players want and need answers.
Tim wasn't lying, and the fixes never stopped. Just look at how the major networks covered these playoffs, the bigger market was always given the most hype and airtime and when they lost the bigger market was the only one who was talked about not the successes of the team that won.
NFL has an even worse record the past decade plus, just look at single plays that decided playoff games and one particular name pops off the list because they have more of those plays in favor of their teams than any other player by a wide margin in the past 15 or so years.
College sports have similar skewed numbers if you look into them, as does the MLB when you look at which teams strike zones are bigger than other's.
