Armed with this evidence, prosecutors started to assemble their case, citing charges from financial fraud to ethical misconduct. Sterling’s legal representation, previously adept at handling corporate disputes, was suddenly facing an overwhelming challenge, navigating through incriminating evidence and a tide of public disapproval.
