James accused AAUConnect of advertising itself as a premier basketball training program, but failed to provide adequate training, housing and education for kids enrolled in the program.

“Justice has been served for these students who were hoping for a shot at their dreams,” said James said in a statement.

AAUConnect must now issue refunds to customers and is banned from operating a high school or post-grad high school basketball business.
