Keisha Williams committed health-care fraud to fund “a vision of luxury.” She got 15 years behind bars.
Keisha Williams of Ashburn, Va., on a 2016 trip to Disney World she paid for through a scam health-care business. Keisha Williams lived large. When she stayed at the Ritz-Carlton in the Bahamas, her cabana had to have a balcony, and her shrimp could not be jumbo — “too tough.” At the Cavalieri in Rome, she complained that the Mercedes that picked her up was “too small” — not her “vision of luxury.
During the trial and at her sentencing, prosecutors noted, Williams carried an $1,800 leather portfolio she bought for her trip to Italy with money from one of the victims who testified, a special needs teacher and recent widow.After sentencing Williams, Brinkema ordered her to surrender the Bottega Veneta portfolio. She also had to forfeit a car, gun, watches and other items.
D’Andrade, 70, lost his business, two houses, a car and all his savings, according to court papers, along with the savings of his girlfriend, his ex-wife and a business mentee. He admitted lying to several victims himself about where the money was going and how quickly it would be paid back, while believing Williams would make good on her promises. He is serving a probationary sentence.
In court Friday, she offered little explanation, dwelling instead on the education and career she believed made her a good candidate for rehabilitation over punishment. When she pretended to be at a Dallas hospital negotiating with John, the court records show, Williams was actually at Disney World and then on a $75,000 trip to Jamaica for her girlfriend’s birthday.
“I spend the most at the Ritz in food and beverage all year and for many years,” she wrote in one message, according to court papers. “They need to take care of me.”
