I'm really not saying that Boutte's case isn't bad. Not sure where you got that.
And yes, reading past the headline helps - it shows Wilson's organization only truly donating 25 cents on the dollar on millions of dollars. I'd argue that's way way worse and affects people much closer to you and I than betting does.
"The investigation found that Wilson's foundation spent $600,000 on charitable activities in 2020 and 2021 but spent nearly twice as much, $1.1 million, on salaries and non-charity related benefits."
What a favorable headline Wilson got lmao.
