Andrew A. Wiederhorn used company funds for private-jet travel, vacations, a Rolls Royce Phantom, other luxury cars and jewelry, prosecutors said.
A federal grand jury indicted the former CEO of Fat Brands, Inc. this week for what they said was a years-long scheme to distribute $47 million of shareholder funds disguised as loans to himself to avoid paying taxes.
The indictment alleges that he used the company funds “to fund the purchase of private-jet travel, vacations, a Rolls Royce Phantom, other luxury automobiles, jewelry and a piano.” “They are based on conduct that ended over three years ago and ignore the company’s cooperation with the investigation,” the company’s statement said.
