Manhattan Film Distributor Charged In Fraud
By Anemona Hartocollis (NYT)
A small independent film distributor has been indicted for defrauding at least 22 people of $3.9 million over seven year, the Manhattan District Attorney said yesterday. The film distributor, Alexis Quinlan, 46, President of Offline Releasing told investors he needed money to export televisions to Europe, prosecutors said, but instead used the money to pay off debts incurred by his film company and to patronize luxury establishments. Mr. Quinlan’s lawyer Matthew Myers did not return a call for comment yesterday.
