Bottom line:
An NBA referee (Tim Donaghy) is being acussed of betting on NBA games -- possibly games that he personally refereed. In addition, it is speculated that he helped "shave points" for these games. As of right now, Donaghy has resigned; however, nothing has been proven with regard to him betting on games. He also has a history of irratic behavior. His mailman claimed that Donaghy tried to run him off the road, and a dispute with his neighbor was filed in 2005. These allegations; however, did not result in any action by the NBA because it did not seem to effect his ability to referee on the court.
David Stern is quoted as saying that he would trade this scandal for the baseball steroids scandal any day of the week.
The FBI is currently investigating.
