Ex-Miami financier sentenced to 7 years after ripping off $8M from his mother in New York

When he moved to Miami in June 2020, former New York investment manager Brett Thomas Graham rented an apartment in the city’s signature building, One Thousand Museum, the “exoskeleton” skyscraper overlooking Biscayne Bay.

On Tuesday, a Miami federal judge ordered Graham’s immediate surrender to the Bureau of Prisons after sentencing him to seven years for ripping off millions from his mother.

U.S. District Judge Donald Middlebrooks also ordered Graham to pay back $8.4 million to her — which may prove difficult because he already spent most of that money on luxurious living, credit-card debt, first-class travel, artwork and Bulgari jewelry for his ex-girlfriend, according to court records.
