It can be both fraud and not fraud. The one key thing is that future quarters will suffer at the expense of it and potentially be open to corrections. It raises a red flag that such a huge jump happened right around the controversy, accounting individuals jumping ship, and nearly 1.5B in debt coming due in the next six months. 
  
 If I had to guess i'd imagine the new order system might be a factor and that could be a situation of accelerated revenue.
