Case of Dennis Rodman and Widespread Deception

The Chicago Bulls legend was caught up in a deceptive scheme crafted by his alleged financial advisor, Peggy Ann Fulford. Like Wilkins, Rodman had placed his unwavering trust in Fulford’s hands, only to be shocked that she had stolen over $1 million from him. Betrayal became part of a bigger picture involving professional athletes.

Fulford, who had falsely presented herself as a “Harvard-educated financial advisor,” committed her crimes by manipulating her clients’ income and funneling their hard-earned money into her personal accounts.

The financial fraud affected not only Rodman but a group of players, including Ricky Williams (NFL) and Travis Best (NBA).
