 | | In addition, Steven Davis, the former JFF director of advertising, was also charged in a one-count criminal information with making false statements to FBI agents in connection with the federal government's investigation of JFF. |
 | | Shine, allegedly knowing that the information contained in the audit confirmation letter was false, and that Logo Athletic did not, in fact, owe JFF approximately $700,000, signed it and sent it to Deloitte and Touche. |
 | | As a result, JFF's earnings for the fiscal year ending January 30, 1999, as stated in its annual audited financial statement and SEC filings, were overstated by at least approximately $700,000, thereby defrauding the shareholders of JFF. |
