Brooklynn Chandler Willy, 45, of San Antonio, was arrested on Tuesday after being accused of obstructing a federal investigation into an investor fraud scheme. The U.S. Department of Justice announced that Willy was charged with obstructing and attempting to obstruct a fraud investigation by the FBI and IRS Criminal Investigation.
Willy is the owner of Queen B Advisors LLC, doing business as Texas Financial Advisory (TFA), and Chandler Capital Holdings. According to the indictment, TFA claimed to offer asset management and financial planning services. In May 2021, Willy allegedly persuaded a married couple to invest $500,000 into a company, using Chandler Capital as the agent for contracts.
However, the indictment states that instead of using the funds as promised, Willy diverted the $500,000 for her personal use, including paying off credit card bills, making payments to other investors, and covering expenses for another business she owned.
When a federal grand jury subpoena was issued, Willy is said to have produced a fraudulent loan agreement, which falsely indicated that the victims had signed it. She repeated this deception during a federal interview on November 19, 2024, where she made additional false statements about the case.
Willy now faces charges for obstruction of an official proceeding, making false statements, and aggravated identity theft. U.S. Attorney Jaime Esparza announced the arrest, with the case being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Joe Blackwell and Kelly Stephenson.
