HENRICO COUNTY, Va. — Turns out it’s not OK to secretly buy a boat during one’s bankruptcy proceedings. That’s partly what landed local homebuilder William Romm III in legal hot water, as he now awaits sentencing in a criminal bankruptcy fraud case.
Romm pleaded guilty in April and admitted to concealing more than $400,000 from the trustee and creditors in his personal bankruptcy case.
