Casagrande wasn't charged with the financial fraud until after he'd been sent to prison and subsequently released for the drug charges.
His deceitful activities came to light after his girlfriend posted pictures of their luxurious lifestyle on social media, raising suspicions among her followers and the authorities.
When it's all profit on top of your existing finances, I think you can have a pretty good time with $75k. But I agree, it's not anywhere near the type of fraud we're used to reading about when white-collar crimes grab a headline. I'd blow through it in a few months or less.
Well the gf was apparently unaware that her purses and shoes were bought with dead dude money... so she didn't post pictures of her crimes, she posted pictures of his.
