After playing basketball at Penn, Gilliams formed TLG aka TL Gilliams, LLC, a commodities trading firm.  He is in jail for wire fraud and operating a fraudulent investment program.  Like Phaedra Parks’ ex-husband, Apollo Nida, Gilliams is in federal prison for committing a serious white collar crime.

Tyrone and his lawyer, Everette Scott, were convicted in 2013.  Scott was sentenced to 2 and a half years in prison for his role in the scheme.

Gilliams solicited millions from investors and used it to host a black-tie event that he called “Joy to the World.” Tyrone booked Kim Kardashian and Sean “Diddy” Combs.  Kardashian cancelled and was replaced by Sheree.  Numerous professional athletes, politicians and entertainers showed up to the event.  At the gala, Diddy got on the mic and explained that Tyrone stole his girlfriend back in the day but they’re still friends.

Gilliams event was held at the Ritz-Carlton in Philadelphia in 2010.  When you’re committing a crime, why would you host a star-studded festival? Tyrone should have maintained a low-profile.  Instead he spent more than $1 million on his “Joy to the World” event in Philadelphia and then spent more money on another expensive event in the Bahamas.

Gilliams and Scott also used the money to buy cars, jewelry and they went on expensive vacations.  Sheree says that she initially didn’t know Tyrone went to jail because they stopped speaking when the investigation started.  He wanted to protect her and make sure she didn’t get dragged into his legal troubles.
