CHICAGO — A jury is now deciding the fates of three former Chicago tech scene stars accused of perpetrating a $1 billion fraud scheme by lying to investors, lenders and clients.
The jury began deliberations Wednesday afternoon after nearly 10 weeks of arguments and testimony in the criminal trial against former Outcome Health CEO Rishi Shah, former Outcome President Shradha Agarwal and former Outcome Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer Brad Purdy.
The jury is tasked with deciding whether to find the three guilty on charges of mail fraud, wire fraud and bank fraud. Shah also stands accused of money laundering, and Purdy of making false statements to a financial institution.
