One investor later testified:
“I believed Alex had approved the presentation because we were sitting in his home.”
Another:

Nathan Cole claimed he corrected that language privately.
Nobody remembered hearing him.
Two guests had already signed preliminary indications totaling:
$1.4 million.
No funds had transferred yet.
That fact significantly limited financial loss.

Potential fraud is not the same as completed loss.
Prosecutors treated that carefully.
