Christine Hunsicker, the CEO behind the clothing rental startup CaaStle, is now facing serious legal trouble. CaaStle, a company that introduced a subscription model to rent clothes, was once celebrated as a revolutionary concept in the fashion-tech industry.

But the once-promising business is now marred by allegations of fraud, misleading investors, and falsifying financial records.

The U.S. Attorney Jay Clayton made a shocking announcement this Friday, revealing that Hunsicker had defrauded investors out of over $300 million. The charges against her include document forgery, fabricated audits, and making false claims about the company’s financial health. While CaaStle was struggling to stay afloat, Hunsicker reportedly painted an entirely different picture to investors, bragging about the company’s success and the supposed revenue and cash reserves.

Despite being removed from her position as chair by CaaStle’s board in April due to misconduct allegations, Hunsicker continued to seek funding, attempting to raise money even after being told not to. Her lawyers have vehemently denied the charges, claiming that the indictment presents a “distorted picture” and that there is much more to the story. Hunsicker turned herself in on Friday and pleaded not guilty to the charges in Manhattan’s federal court. If convicted, she could face years in prison.
