The District Attorney said the owner used money meant for a charity music festival for his unrelated business and personal expenses.
A jury convicted the owner of the Borderline Bar & Grill in Thousand Oaks for grand theft embezzlement Wednesday. The Ventura County District Attorney said the owner, Brian Andrew Hynes, misappropriated funds for a charity music festival canceled during the pandemic. 'Facing difficult financial circumstances, Mr. Hynes decided to misappropriate venture money,' said Senior Deputy District Attorney Marc Leventhal, who prosecuted the case.
'According to prosecutors, Hynes partnered with the Westlake Rotary to organize the Oak Heart County Music Festival in 2020. After the annual charity music festival was canceled because of COVID-19, Hynes took the $43,750 refund for musical acts and placed it into a general business bank account which he controlled. Instead of returning the money to ticket holders and Westlake Rotary, the Borderline owner spent it on personal expenses and unrelated business ventures.
