Failed HUD Helmet Maker Skully Spent Funding On Strippers And Exotic Cars: Lawsuit

Quote:

In the suit, Faithhauer claims the Wellers “routinely demanded [she] engage in fraudulent bookkeeping practices designed to defraud investors in Skully into believing that Skully funds were being used for business purposes, when in fact, the funds were being used to pay the personal expenses of the Wellers.”

Highlights of these alleged “personal expenses” include:

The brothers’ personal apartment rent in San Francisco’s Marina district
$80,000 in cash paid to an unnamed co-founder, hidden as expenses for a trip to China
A weekend Lamborghini rental.
A Dodge Viper.
A second Dodge Viper, after the first one was in an accident.
Four motorcycles
$2,000 on limos in Florida
$2,000 at a strip club called “De Ja Vu”
$2,345 on paintings
A first-class last-minute flight to Hawaii
And a whole list of other grievances related to the Wellers’ alleged refusal to pay Faithhauer’s overtime.
In hindsight, Skully appeared to be kind of shady for some time. The company continuously pushed back its promised release date while sucking down $2,446,824 from Indie GoGo backers—that’s 979 percent of the $250,000 “goal” they “needed” to get running.
