I could see Abdelmassih doing this type of stuff
EVERYBODY plays this game. It all depends upon how far they're willing to go.
It's good for ISU if this helps cleanup recruiting, but if I were not a big ISU MBB fan my reaction would be BFD.
With as much money that is made off these kids (by everyone involved in basketball) there will always be a tendency to somehow pay to attract better inputs (players). Shame on these coaches for making it so explicit. Hopefully this is just part of the FBI's financial crimes training program and we're not tying up real resources on basketball recruiting.

Pretty bold statement to make this early in the process. What if Gatto has proof that people within the organization were fully aware of what he was up to?
You can talk to an agent but you cannot talk business. Cam Reddish (http://247sports.com/Player/Cameron-Reddish-77233) was spotted with LeBron has his agent/best friend (http://kentuckysportsradio.com/main/tmz-caught-cameron-reddish-with-lebron-james-and-his-agent/) and they didn't talk business? Yeah right.
The corruption warning signs are already there. Reddish met Rich Paul, LeBron and he already commited to Duke, a Nike school. If this guy doesn't sign with Nike and Klutch Sports Group when he turns pro I will donate $100 to Stanz and Fitz sh*tty beer fund.
Granted I know nothing more than that small article, but that says they can talk business as long as they aren't giving him stuff.
Miami and Louisville looked to be involved as well.
More concerning is this passage: “In one instance, Gatto and the other defendants reportedly funneled $100,000 to the family of a high school basketball player to convince the player to sign with a ‘public research university’ in Kentucky. The complaint doesn't name the university. Based on details provided, it is likely the University of Louisville, which signed a $160 million sponsorship deal with Adidas in August.
In another case, Gatto and other defendants allegedly agreed to make payments of up to $150,000 from Adidas to convince the player to join another team sponsored by the apparel company, according to filings. The university is not named, but based on the information provided, it’s likely the University of Miami, which entered into a 12-year partnership with Adidas in 2015.“

"we suspected that his "petty cash" budget was a bit high but never closely looked into it"

If there was only one guy in the entirety of NCAA basketball that is clean, my bet would be on Steve Prohm.
Louisville not only payed Brian Bowen, but the complaint also mentions another player that was getting paid that is set to graduate in 2019.
They also mention #7 player in the country, not sure if this year or last year that appears to be tied to Duke but no mention of whether he actually got paid.
