Riley Scores Legal Victory Against Online Company

Music producer Teddy Riley scored a huge legal victory in the $1.9 million dollar legal battle accusing him of fraud.

A jury found the producer innocent of any alleged wrongdoing, BOSSIP has learned. 
The online investment company The Receivables Exchange filed a federal lawsuit against Riley accusing him of conspiracy and fraud.

The company explained that they are an electronic marketplace where sellers can auction off eligible receivables for sale to investors – which essentially is a company selling off debt owed to them, and then the buyer can legally collect on the money owed by the debtor.

The Receivables Exchange said that in 2013 Riley agreed to sell certain receivables owed to him via his TR Music Company. 

The company said Riley created fake accounts receivables to sell on the marketplace, which would never be paid by the account debtor TR Music, and instead would collect the money from the sale and spread it out to the co-conspirators involved in the fraud and deceit.

The Receivables Exchange said Riley screwed out buyers a total of $326,480, which was paid to him in exchange for fraudulent accounts receivables. They said Riley’s alleged actions were despicable and as a result they have suffered cruel and unjust hardship due to buyers on their website being screwed over.

They demanded $1.9 million from Riley. But Riley fired back at the allegations, and claimed the investment website has NO proof that they were harmed by any of his sales through their site. Further, he said that everything he did on the marketplace was legal and no fraud was committed on his part at all.

Riley said all the investment moves he made were seen by the company and nothing was hidden and no conspiracy was going on. He said they cannot sue him especially since they lost no money out of the deals but that would be the people who invested with him.
He demanded the $1.9 million lawsuit be dismissed and the company awarded nothing.

The case had been pending for months but it finally went to trial earlier this month.

The jury in the case heard the evidence and testimony for several days before coming to their verdict on May 5th.

The members of the jury came back with their decision and sided with the music producer. The order states that The Receivables Exchange will take nothing from their complaint and they found Teddy did not commit any fraud.

The case was closed the same day.
