Disbarred in Ohio, he tricked a California law firm into a $250,000 job offer

When he applied for a job at a California law firm last September, he identified himself as Christopher “Rich” Miller-Williams and claimed to be an ex-Marine who attended the University of Michigan School of Law.

He said he had played football at the University of Michigan, worked as in-house counsel at Bristol Myers Squibb, a biopharmaceutical company, and was licensed to practice law in New York and Washington, D.C.

Impressed, the Irvine firm hired him as an attorney to the tune of $250,000 a year. The only problem? None of it was real.

The month after he was hired, federal agents arrested Miller-Williams under his real name: Richard Louis Crosby III.
