The U.S. Department of Justice has charged Christine Hunsicker, CEO of fashion tech firm CaaStle, with defrauding investors of over $300 million. Authorities allege she falsified financial documents to mislead investors about the company’s profitability. If convicted, she faces decades in prison.

  • Christine Hunsicker allegedly forged financial documents to falsely claim CaaStle had $200 million in cash when it only had $200,000.
  • She raised an additional $20 million by falsifying a board director’s signature to authorize stock options.
  • Hunsicker also defrauded P180 investors by misrepresenting CaaStle’s financial health to secure $30 million in funding.
