He also obtained money from individuals under false pretenses with a promise to invest the funds. He then conducted financial transactions to conceal or disguise the funds he obtained in the thefts resulting in the money laundering charges against him.

That display was never built and he concealed or disguised the source of the funds by transferring the money into his interest on lawyer trust account to pay debts and expenses.
