Williams seemingly got off okay compared to the list of charges she faced.

The conclusion to Brittish Williams' long-running legal saga didn't turn out great for the former "Basketball Wives LA" star. She was found guilty of committing fraud adding up to a grand total of $564,000. According to The Shade Room, there's a variety of different kinds of fraud at play in the case. Additionally, tax fraud, bank fraud, insurance fraud, and three different pandemic fraud schemes were cited in the case.

Williams already pleaded guilty to 15 different felonies back in May. Included in that bunch are more counts of bank fraud, wire fraud, misusing a social security number, and making false statements to the IRS. As a result of all those crimes, she's been sentenced to four years in prison. She's also expected to pay back the full $564,000 and will be on supervised release for 5 years following the conclusion of her prison sentence. The full scope of the various frauds is difficult to even explain in full. Read all of the details shared following her sentencing below.

"Living a comfortable life & still engaging in risk taking activity is crazy. ☹️ life’s good, why is you taking penitentiary chances," they asked.
