The Money Didn't Go Where Investors Thought It Would...
Chase had sole control over Knightsbridge along with 2 other companies, Chasing Air and Starfall.
It's noteworthy because Chase was using all 3 accounts interchangeably for the Knightsbridge offering.
And for investors who put their money into Knightsbridge, it meant funds could be dropped into any of the 3 businesses on a whim.
This also went the other way with investors receiving payments from Chasing Air and Starfall.
Something was up.
It turned out Chase was using a large part of investors' funds in ways that had nothing to do with financing movies.
Chase took up the nasty habit of misusing them during the short amount of time Knightsbridge was in action.
He paid down debts.
He used $15 million to make good on debt owed by a completely unrelated company.
He paid a third party $3.4 million when a company he guaranteed performance for didn't succeed.
Chase also went on to blow $8.9 million on plain old good times.
He spent $1.8 million paying off his AMEX card.
He donated $1.5 million to the University of Southern California… the very school that is the epicenter of the college admissions scandal.
He weaseled $1.5 million out of the Knightsbridge account to use on himself.
And he spent almost $1 million buying a couple of Teslas.
But it gets worse...
