Harrisonburg, VA, October 27, 2026 —
A jury in Augusta Circuit Court found former Nexus executives Michael Donovan and Richard Moore guilty on all charges related to the alleged theft of more than $400,000 from Zachary Cruz, according to the information provided about the case.
The summary identifies Donovan and Moore as former Nexus executives and says the charges concerned an alleged theft from Cruz. It does not specify the charges, describe the conduct underlying them, or explain what evidence was presented at trial. The specific amount at issue beyond the stated figure of more than $400,000 was not provided.
Other details about the proceedings are also unavailable, including when the verdict was delivered, how long the trial lasted, and whether either defendant or Cruz commented on the outcome. The information provided does not state whether the court has scheduled sentencing, what penalties may apply, or whether any post-verdict motions or appeals are planned.
The jury’s finding establishes the reported outcome on the charges, but the available summary does not provide enough detail to describe the court’s reasoning or the next steps in the case. No additional information about the parties’ roles at Nexus, the relationship between the defendants and Cruz, or the case’s procedural history was included.
