When he won $1.1 million dollars in 50 days through sports betting, 24-year-old Ben Patz, better known as “Parlay Patz” was on top of the world. Now he faces five years in prison for threatening professional athletes and their families with unspeakable crimes after he lost a big bet. Patz’s actions point to the critical need for teams to protect their players and stay ahead of bad actors, particularly when a single tweet or photo gives a wealth of information on an athlete’s location and security situation. Here, we talk to Fred Burton, NYT best-selling author, former special agent, counterterrorism expert, and executive director of the Ontic Center for Protective Intelligence about athlete’s threat profiles and how protective intelligence can help keep them and their fans safe.
