A judge has sentenced Brittish Cierrah Williams, a former cast member of the reality show Basketball Wives, to four years in prison. Williams was involved in several schemes, including tax fraud, bank fraud, insurance fraud, and pandemic-related scams, resulting in a total of $564,000 in losses.
Williams, 33, pleaded guilty to 15 felonies, which included misusing Social Security numbers, making false statements to the IRS, and wire fraud. Her deceptive actions continued even after federal agents first got in touch with her and indicted her, as the sentencing hearing made clear.
Assistant United States Attorney Diane Klocke highlighted the seriousness of Williams’ crimes, emphasizing the need for strict punishment. U.S. District Judge Henry Autrey stated, “You knew what you were doing. You knew it was wrong, and you did it anyway.” In addition to her prison term, Williams will be on supervised release for five years and must pay $564,069 in restitution.
