After dropping BDO as their auditor this CEO just continued signing off in financial statements under BDO's name. The craziest part is her skating through getting caught initially. One investor noticed a falsified date: she told him that those were fake statements made for a university lecture and refunded his investment. Eventually the board caught on and prohibited her from raising more investments, but she just kept selling shares behind their backs. Everyone involved had some financial interest in not making a public fuss.
