The case reached a point of “absolute finality” regarding the alleged scheme when investigators identified suspicious transactions that failed to align with legitimate business expenses. Rivers, who was reportedly on probation at the time of these alleged offenses, now faces an “unbearable burden” of multiple felony charges, including organized fraud and grand theft. As this “unforeseen departure” from lawful business practices is addressed in the court system, officials remind the public that all defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. The investigation into the full scope of the financial impact remains ongoing.)
