THE ARRESTS
Federal agents arrested Grant four months after the gala.
The charges included wire fraud, bank fraud, conspiracy, identity theft, forgery, employee-benefit theft, and attempted financial exploitation of a spouse.
Brielle faced conspiracy and obstruction charges.
Mavis was charged in connection with both the modern financial scheme and the aircraft sabotage.

Obstruction, continuing conspiracy, and attempted murder had not.
Mavis’s attorneys argued Victor acted alone.
