Accusations include forcing workers to labor up to 17 hours a day and over 100 hours in a single week without proper pay, while using cash, checks, and online transfers—and even clothing—to delay or avoid full compensation. One worker reportedly begged for payment to care for a sick child in Ecuador, exposing the human cost of this alleged exploitation. Authorities urge others to come forward, regardless of immigration status, as the district attorney vows that every hardworking New Yorker deserves their full wage. The designer has pleaded not guilty, and the investigation, conducted with the state labor department, spans from last August to this June.
