The District Attorney can only become involved if he has a victim.Clutch9800 wrote:Why won't criminal charges be filed? If someone steals $850,000.00 then criminal charges are generally filed.
I'm hanging my hat on the fact that if someone steals 850k, then the District Attorney would be interested.
Leaving us with two options.
The District Attorney isn't interested, ergo, no theft.
The District Attorney is interested and the investigation is ongoing.

When I see a conviction, I'll label someone a thief. That's justice.
Since one of the primary victims, Randall Bills, has explicitly stated:
A) Loren Coleman took a bunch of company money.
B) He totally forgives him and will not in any way seek any retribution.
All Randall Bills has to do to avoid testifying against Coleman is to declare that he retroactively gave the money to him, and that's something he would apparently do.
Now, Randall Bills is not by any means the sum total of the people that Coleman stole from, but individual freealncers who have not even been paid for their work timely or in full or sometimes at all over the last couple years are in no position to hire lawyers to bring up civil failure to honor contract cases.
So yes, it is very possible to say without a shadow of a doubt that Coleman stole money, without him being convicted. One example would be if he admitted to stealing money, which, oh yeah, he totally did in a press release.
