According to Fort Lauderdale police, the stolen money was used to fund Williams’s personal lifestyle, including first-class flights, stays in high-end hotels with multiple women, purchases of designer clothing and jewelry, visits to nightclubs and strip clubs, and legal services. Williams also used the funds for luxury shopping in Mexico, as reported by Local10.com.

Williams previously worked at a Merrill Lynch office in Boca Raton until his resignation in December 2024. His BrokerCheck profile lists misconduct claims for “misappropriation and improper outside business activity” dating back to 2019. He was released on July 2, 2025, on a $1 million bond, according to the Palm Beach Sheriff’s Office.
