NY Post
Former Dolphins Pro Bowl safety Reshad Jones allegedly had $2.58 million stolen from him by a woman, who has since been jailed, and a former financial advisor over a two-year span, according to local10.com.
Octavia Monique Graham, 49, surrendered herself to authorities on Monday and has been charged with two counts of money laundering and one count of first-degree grand theft, per the report.
Isaiah Williams, Jones’ former financial advisor and alleged co-conspirator in the scheme, has reportedly not been arrested.
Jones’ representatives, Chase Carlson and Jeff Sonn, told ESPN this is “yet another troubling example of a professional athlete being exploited by a wealth management firm he trusted.”
“In this case, the wrongdoer was a Vice President at one of the world’s largest financial institutions — Bank of America’s investment management division, Merrill Lynch,” the pair said in a statement.
“We have filed a lawsuit to hold Merrill Lynch accountable and are working to recover all damages our client has suffered.”
