Kris Roglieri Wire Fraud Scandal: CEO Accused of Stealing Millions!
Kris Roglieri, a well-known entrepreneur and philanthropist, is in serious trouble after being charged with wire fraud. He is the CEO of Prime Capital Ventures, a commercial lending company that is accused of cheating its borrowers.
Reports say that Roglieri has been holding back funds meant for various projects and using those payments to pay his expenses. If convicted, he could face up to 20 years in prison.
According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office, Prime Capital Ventures requires borrowers to make upfront interest payments to secure loans. One of the biggest loans involved a $5 million down payment for a commercial project with a company based in Minnesota.
However, Prime Capital allegedly failed to provide funding for many other loans and misused that $5 million down payment for personal purchases. Some of these purchases include an extravagant $84,000 Rolex watch and $101,000 spent on private air travel for a family vacation to Anguilla.
The fraud accusations come from multiple clients of Prime Capital and its associated companies, raising serious concerns about Roglieri’s business practices. In total, Roglieri is accused of transferring nearly $950,000 to settle financial obligations to another Prime Capital client, suggesting a pattern of mismanagement and deceit.
Roglieri’s legal troubles began when he appeared in court in May and later returned for a detention hearing in June. Court documents reveal alarming text messages he allegedly sent, threatening revenge against the attorneys, the judge, and the receiver handling his case.
Due to these messages and the serious nature of the charges against him, the government argued that he posed a flight risk and a danger to the community. As a result, the Rensselaer County Sheriff’s Office confirmed that Roglieri is currently in jail in Rensselaer County.
In addition to facing criminal charges, Roglieri is also dealing with ongoing bankruptcy proceedings. His financial situation has attracted significant media attention, and NEWS10 reporter Anthony Krolikowski plans to meet with Megan Hennessey, the Executive Director of the Saratoga Automobile Museum, who is overseeing the auction of Roglieri’s assets.
This situation raises further questions about the extent of his financial mismanagement and the impact on those who trusted him with their business.
The case against Roglieri highlights serious issues within the lending industry, particularly concerning how companies manage their finances and the importance of accountability. Many people in the business world are watching this case closely, as it could set a precedent for future cases involving fraud and mismanagement in commercial lending.
