The eight players that received a lifetime suspension for being the 'Black Sox' were Joe Jackson, Happy Felsch, Fred McMullen, Eddie Cicotte, Lefty Williams, Swede Risberg, Chick Gandel, and Buck Weaver. Weaver always claimed his innocence and said he played his best and never took any money from gamblers to throw the Series. No one ever disputed that. The other seven received at least $5,000 for throwing the Series. Gamblers that were involved and behind the fix were Arnold Rothstein, a gambler and racketeer from New York and Joseph 'Sport' Sullivan, a bookie from Boston.
