From the article:
"I’ve never told the government there was no evidence of Nike making payments to players,” Nike attorney Scott Wilson testified Monday.
After Wilson concluded his testimony, consultant Jeff Auerbach of the Los Angeles-based firm Bedford Consulting testified that Nike directed Gary Franklin, the longtime director of the Nike-sponsored Cal Supreme AAU basketball program, to make payments to the families and handlers of Deandre Ayton, Bol Bol and Brandon McCoy, including a $10,000 cash payment to Ayton’s mother Andrea in 2016.
“Gary had been directed to make cash payments to several players’ families,” Auerbach, Franklin’s friend and advisor, testified.
Auerbach testified that Franklin was also directed to falsify records and “redirect” wire payments and forward them to players’ handlers."
