As far as I can tell the employees kept coming to work without pay, this was their choice, were is the fraud?
It's honestly a little embarrassing having to point out something this obvious, but the fraud is that they were promised that they would ultimately be paid, and now it looks like they're not going to get paid at all. They never agreed to work for free, only that their wages be deferred; the employer broke an agreement.
If the boss said "we want you to work for free" and they inexplicably said "OK" that would be free markets at work, sure. But that's not what happened. If you have an employer-employee agreement stating you will be paid for your labor and you don't get paid, that's fraud. If you can't see that, I'm sorry, I don't know how to make it more obvious.
