And this is why we need the federal courts to prosecute financial crimes. No more BS. Put these people in jail and keep them there. Brooklynn just thought it would be worth it.Diggity said:

Jailed San Antonio investment adviser Brooklynn Chandler Willy, arrested last month for allegedly obstructing a federal investigation into her business dealings, is facing 11 more criminal charges.
In a new indictment handed up Wednesday by a federal grand jury, Willy was charged with six counts of wire fraud, two counts of engaging in financial transactions involving assets obtained from illegal activities and one count of securities fraud.
The IRS agent testified about an elderly San Antonio couple who agreed to invest $500,000 with Ferrum using Willy's Chandler Capital Holdings as the agent to execute and deliver the contract. The two, who made the investment in 2021, are identified in the indictment as "Victim 1" and "Victim 2."
Willy deposited the couple's check with Chandler Capital but never sent any of the money to Ferrum, the agent said.
A married couple, identified as "Victims 3 and 4," were convinced by Willy to invest in a company called Cold Moon Holdings, the indictment says. Their investment was supposed to be for purchase of bad debt and "other business purposes." The couple invested more than $2 million, but it was never used to purchase bad debt or for business loans, the indictment says.
Instead, Willy used the couple's money to pay her associates, pay other purported investors and make "interest" payments to the pair, the indictment adds.
Willy convinced another individual, identified as "Victim 6," to invest $600,000 in "business opportunities," the indictment says. "Instead of being invested, Willy used this money for her benefit."

Awful.
Man, stories like this are always so crazy to me. Kind of like Anna Delvey in a way.
On one hand, Brooklynn is undoubtedly a intelligent and hard working woman who created a business and grew it. Fraud aside, not just anyone could put together all that she did. She's got all of the right knowledge, personality, charisma, salesmanship and drive to pull it all off. That's an impressive person in that way.
But then you find out about all of the fraud and everything behind the scenes and it's so bizarre. What happened? Was everything she doing above board to begin with and then her lavish lifestyle caught up to her and she needed the money? Do one fraudulent thing that just leads to another and another? I mean just those 6 people posted above adds up to $3.1 Million. I can see getting addicted to that if you've been getting away with it.
Same goes for Anna Delvey. She was one hustler of a chick that used her intelligence to create a persona out of thin air. Yeah it was all based on a lie, but the stuff she pulled off before getting busted was amazing (I'm just going off of the "creating Anna Delvey thing from Netflix). No way I could have pulled any of the stuff either of these 2 girls did even if I was ok with lying and committing fraud.
So, they're lying scumbags and I'm glad they got caught. But part of me is impressed by how savvy they are.

Really detailed updates on what has taken place. Seems like a few guys in Lubbock are EFFFED on this as well.

It has to be the desire for more, more, more. I have a colleague who was absolutely killing it with a 15-person ENT physician group that he owned outright. He was without a doubt clearing multiple millions of dollars a year for himself between two O.R.s, the real estate his practice owned, and all of the ancillary income from each location going to himself. He got wrapped up in the absolute stupidest Medicare fraud scheme that was not going to bring in all that much money, and required a ton of people being quiet about doing something illegal and unethical that would make someone else money. He is now a denizen of the U.S. Penal system, and his empire was sold for parts to pay off his now ex-wife.lotsofhp said:

Wasn't there another "financial planner" from San Antonio that went to jail - maybe 10-15 years ago for stealing from his clients?

"The indictment alleges that Allen, Cox and Willy misled the victims concerning the security of the investments and concealed their high commissions. Additionally, Allen and Cox allegedly lied about the nature of the investments. Hundreds of victims collectively lost millions of dollars. Much of that money went to pay earlier investor-victims, thereby concealing the scheme and attracting additional victims. Much of the money also directly benefitted the now indicted co-conspirators and their associates.
Allen, Cox, and Willy are each charged with one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud, one count of conspiracy to commit money laundering, one count of conspiracy to launder monetary instruments, and one count of securities fraud."

Vile scum. She should have been in jail long ago.

Agreed. She should be getting put behind bars in about 1-2 months.

Matthew Cox blows them all out of the water and is basically everything you're talking about. He committed somewhere between $15-$55 million in real estate fraud. This is a really long interview, but it's well worth the watch. He goes into how he fell into fraud, the tactics and strategies he used, and how he got caught. It's absolutely fascinating and gives incredible insight into people like this.
Neighbor told me she is looking at 25+ years.
Apparently there are a large group of people in her social circle that think she is innocent (LOL) in all this and will be acquitted.
Ya right.

https://www.expressnews.com/business/article/brooklynn-chandler-willy-san-antonio-fraud-case-21324062.php
Disgraced ex-San Antonio financial adviser Brooklynn Chandler Willy, accused of getting clients to invest in a massive Ponzi scheme, is negotiating a plea agreement in her two criminal cases to avoid a federal trial later this year.
Willy, who headed Texas Financial Advisory before she was arrested in December 2024, is facing 18 felony charges between the two cases, but it has not been publicly disclosed what charge or charges she may plead guilty to as part of an agreement.
If Willy does enter a plea, regardless of the charge, she'll likely be heading to prison.
Willy, who owned Queen B Advisors LLC, which did business as Texas Financial Advisory, was initially charged during the ongoing investigation with impeding the grand jury proceeding by providing a false revolving line of credit agreement in response to a subpoena.
She was charged with obstructing an official proceeding, making a false statement and aggravated identity theft in December 2024. About a month later, she was indicted on an additional 11 charges. They include six counts of wire fraud, two counts of engaging in financial transactions involving assets obtained from illegal activities and one count of securities fraud.

Boo for the Liberal San Antonio Federal Court and Attorney. Put her fat azz in jail and keep her there.
Can't believe she's been out on Federal Bond all this time with so many victims and so much money missing.
Maybe she spent a lot of the stolen money on a very well connected defense attorney perhaps…

She should be saving up her money to buy as much Trump coin as she can, might not have to serve a day.
Should've just run a daycare / health taxi service in Minnesota

She would be in a much better position as far as jail time if she were a black democrat in a blue state major city and shot four or five people.

https://www.expressnews.com/business/article/brooklynn-chandler-willy-guilty-plea-ponzi-scheme-22075415.php
An emotional and chagrined Brooklyn Chandler Willy, the former financial adviser who peddled her wares on radio and online, pleaded guilty Thursday to federal charges that she defrauded clients, including some who invested in what turned out to be a Ponzi scheme.
"I was a crook. I'm very sorry," Willy was quoted as saying by Patrick Danner, a business reporter for the San Antonio Express News.
Biery compared Willy to Elizabeth Holmes, the founder of medical technology company "Theranos." Holmes made national news when she was convicted of fraud and ordered to pay back more than $450 million in restitution.
One woman snapped at Willy, according to the Express News, "I hope you rot in prison!"

I can vouch for this. Went to high school with her. Pretty much unrecognizable from these current pics.
