SPECIFICALLY what are you referencing that supports your claims ?
Financial restatements: shown below is the KRY press release, two years of US statements weren't in GAAP accord and earnings had to be reduced for those two years. At the time, this was viewed as a much "bigger deal" than their company PR would indicate. You can see the full PR on company website.
As to RF benefitting from financing, it was his full time job/company that brokered most of the deals over the years. Too lazy to document all the times that this happened, but if you want you can just go their multiple financing filings

TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 10/19/07 -- Crystallex International Corporation (TSX: KRY) (AMEX: KRY) announced today that it will restate one note in its previously reported financial statements to correct the accounting for interest costs in the US GAAP reconciliation note to the 2006 and 2005 financial statements and accordingly, until refiled, the US GAAP financial statements should no longer be relied upon. The Company anticipates filing restated financial statements covering those periods shortly. The reported financial results, financial position and cash flows under Canadian GAAP will not change.
Under US GAAP, interest costs are required to be capitalized to mineral properties which are under development, although these costs were appropriately expensed as an accounting policy alternative under Canadian GAAP. The Company had originally treated the interest costs in an identical way for both Canadian and US GAAP purposes by recording the amount as an expense in the 2006 and 2005 which were audited without qualification by the Company's predecessor auditors. Accordingly, the net book value of "Property, plant and equipment" in the US GAAP reconciliation note will increase in 2006 and 2005 with corresponding reductions in "Loss from operations" for those years under US GAAP.
