Back in 2019, it was announced that Peggy Fulford, a former financial adviser, was sentenced to prison for 120 months which is ten years. So, now, she is serving her time in prison. Fulford swindled many professional athletes, including ex-NBA basketball players Dennis Rodman and Travis Best, former Heisman through victor Ricky Williams, NFL football players Lex Hilliard and Ricky Williams, for millions of dollars.
The former broker, who is from Houston and was based out of New Orleans, pleaded guilty to one count of interstate transport of robbed property in 2018. Likewise, Fulford, who also used the last names King, Williams, Simpson, Rivers, and Barard as her aliases, together with the names Devon Cole and Devin Barard, confessed that she falsely told her ex-clients that she had phases from Harvard Business School and Harvard Law School and that she had made millions of dollars on Wall Street.
Fulford told her victims that they didn’t need to pay her a payment because she was already affluent and just wanted to help them protect their budgets. Instead, Peggy, who was thought to handle their money and pay their bills for them, pivoted millions of dollars to sustain her own luxury spending habits. Even after pleading guilty and while out on bond in this criminal case, Fulford, as Peggy Jones, allegedly tricked another man out of $25,000.
