Williams, 41, of Hernando, Mississippi, has been charged with wire fraud in connection with his alleged embezzlement of $8,709,792 from Verso Paper Co., based in Memphis, Tennessee, for whom he had been employed as a financial analyst.

Williams reportedly attempted to disguise the transfers as being made to various company vendors. He faces up to 20 years in prison, plus fines and restitution, if convicted. Williams' wife, Danielle J. Williams has been charged with money laundering in connection with the case. Her trial is scheduled for late June 2010.
