As the case is still pending, presumption of innocence - but even if the guy is guilty, that doesn't mean that an unrelated investment doesn't have to be fulfilled. I'm sure this guy has a job; should be also be shouting that his employer direct deposited his last paycheck?
Just because someone is accused or even convicted of something, even if that accusation or conviction is horrible, doesn't mean that "anyone who owes him money doesn't have to pay it anymore." In the US, consequences of conviction are ordered by the court at sentencing.
