Tim Donaghy was awarded $1.3 million in a civil suit against Shawna Vercher and her now-defunct company VTi Group, which published Donaghy's tell-all book about the NBA and its referees.
"The lady made my life a living hell and basically tortured me through the press by putting fictitious stories out there," Donaghy said. "I knew, at some point, my time would come. And my time was Friday."
Donaghy is working as an advisor for basketball handicapper Danny Berrelli.
"I watch a lot of these games and advise him," Donaghy said. "If the lines are way out of whack, I'll have a conversation with him."
