| Submission declined on 23 October 2024 by Snowman304 (talk). This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Roy William “Will” Harris was the Chief Executive Officer and majority shareholder of Arochem Corporation, a now defunct refinery and petrochemical plant located in Ponce Puerto Rico which ceased operation in 1992. Williams, a former successful commodities trader, was the central figure in United States v. Harris (1996), a case involving numerous charges of financial crimes.[1] Harris was convicted of conspiracy to commit wire and bank fraud, money laundering, engaging in a continuing financial crimes enterprise (CFCE).[2] Harris was the first person ever convicted of the CFCE statute which was intended to be used on drug king pins as a method of seizing the resources of wealthy outlaws and to deprive them of resources.[3] The case highlighted the intricate financial fraud that led to the collapse of Arochem but also served as an essential legal precedent for issues related to the application of the CFCE statute and the role of financial institutions in fraud detection.[4] Harris fought his convictions in various appellate courts for more than ten years through the 1990s and 2000s.[5]
