Former CFO of e-commerce start-up Fabric, Nevin Shetty, has been indicted for allegedly directing $35 million of company funds into a high-risk cryptocurrency investment that ultimately collapsed. Shetty is charged with wire fraud and could face up to 20 years in prison for his actions. The indictment suggests that Fabric's upper management grew dissatisfied with Shetty's performance, notifying him in March 2022 that he could not sustain his CFO position. This serves as a cautionary tale highlighting the risks and responsibilities inherent in the handling of company finances.
