No they didn’t. If he defrauded the bank, don’t you think the bank would have pressed charges?
He was making the payments on the lines of credit. The loans went bad when the government, on allegations of immigration and child labor violations interrupted the whole business. Allegations for which he was never found guilty and in fact some were so baseless, they were expunged.
