Embattled San Antonio investment adviser and financial radio show host Brooklynn Chandler Willy remained behind bars Wednesday after being arrested by FBI and IRS agents at her Stone Oak office.
The arrest Tuesday came six days after a federal grand jury indicted her on three charges including obstruction of justice and aggravated identity theft. It’s the latest in a string of legal and regulatory trouble she’s faced in recent years.
Willy, restrained in shackles, made an initial court appearance Tuesday afternoon. U.S. Magistrate Judge Elizabeth “Betsy” Chestney set a detention hearing for Friday to determine whether Willy, 45, can be released on bond.
Chestney said prosecutors asked that she remain in custody because she poses a “substantial risk for obstructing justice.”

SAN ANTONIO – A San Antonio woman was arrested Tuesday in San Antonio on criminal charges related to allegedly obstructing and attempting to obstruct an ongoing federal fraud investigation.
According to court documents, the FBI and IRS Criminal Investigation are conducting a federal investigation into an investor fraud scheme in San Antonio and Lubbock. The indictment alleges that Brooklynn Chandler Willy, 45, obstructed and attempted to obstruct that investigation by producing false documents in response to a federal grand jury subpoena.
According to the charging documents, Willy was the owner of a San Antonio based company named Queen B Advisors LLC, doing business as Texas Financial Advisory (TFA), and was the owner of Chandler Capital Holdings. Among other services, TFA purported to provide asset management and financial planning services. The indictment alleges that in or around May 2021, Willy recommended that a married couple invest $500,000 into a company, using Chandler Capital as the agent to execute and deliver contracts. The couple agreed and wrote a check for Chandler Capital to deposit for their agreed upon investment. The indictment alleges that rather than depositing the check for its intended investment, Willy used the $500,000 for her own purposes, including personal credit card payments, payments to other investors, and payments to another business owned and controlled by Willy.
According to the indictment, in response to a federal grand jury subpoena, Willy produced a false loan agreement which falsely purported to have been signed by the victims. Willy again produced this document to federal agents during an interview on Nov. 19, 2024, and made false statements about this document and other matters.

She is running a ponzi scheme. She's another Bernie Madoff. My brother's GF lost $300,000. A neighbor of his lost about $600,000.
