Scott Anderson, an owner of Riley Drive Entertainment in Lenexa, faces a multi-count indictment from a federal grand jury.

The charges stem primarily from loan applications made in 2018, 2019 and 2020, as well as false statements and forgeries allegedly made to get a future receivables sale agreement with a Delaware-based financial firm. In all, he faces 14 counts.

According to the indictment, Anderson, if found guilty on all counts, could be fined in excess of $1.5 million and spend decades in prison. He could also be expected to pay back any money obtained under false pretenses.

“Scott Anderson intends to plead not guilty, and looks forward to addressing these allegations in court. He is confident that justice will be done, and that he will be cleared of all charges,” his attorney Robin Fowler said in an emailed statement.
