Beirich was indicted because she set up fake corporate accounts controlled by herself and her sugar baby, into which she funnelled donor's money that was supposed to be used to fight hate groups. And the FBI obviously has iron clad evidence that she set up the accounts, she controlled the accounts, with her sugar baby, and she directed donor money into those accounts for her personal use, to pay her personal expenses and those of her sugar baby. So those charges should be a slam dunk, and one would think the federal prosecutors have ample evidence of this, certainly reading the first indictment. Embezzlement and fraud would be harder to prove with evidence, though fraud charges may still be brought in civil cases that can follow if Beirich is found guilty on the federal charges. Beirich intended to defraud the donors, as she knowingly and willfully, directed donor money that was meant to fight hate groups, into accounts she controlled personally to fund her personal expenses and those of her sugar baby.
