Feds to Extradite Allserve's Alleged Mastermind

In one of the biggest frauds to hit the leasing industry recently, $83 million, and to Bank of America, Bank of Lodi, Bank of the West, Central Valley Community Bank, CIT, Citi Capital, Commonwealth Capital, Continental Bank, Excel Bank, Fifth Third Leasing, First Financial, GATX Technology, Irwin Business Finance, Key Equipment Finance, MB Financial Bank North Fork Equipment Leasing, Overland Leasing Group, Pullman Bank & Trust, Republic Bank, Sovereign Bank, CIT Group, US Bancorp Technology Leasing.

These companies would have done a strip search if the deal were presented by a “leasing broker,” but when it comes from a manufacturer or dealer, it's a go from the very beginning with the promise of more to follow.

Allserve Systems Corp, New Brunswick, New Jersey filed bankruptcy last November ( ironically the same bankruptcy judge Rosemary Gambardella who is handling the NorVergence bankruptcy.)

Paradoxically this is another IT company, but this one was world wide. According to their web site, the Allserve network boasted of operations in New Jersey , Texas and four other states, as well as overseas. The web site states the company had a work force of 3,000, and in the company claimed revenues of $97 million, and spoke of plans to double its worldwide payroll to 6,000 by the start of this year.

Recently an order to sell off all assets was made and another credit claims hearing to be held, but in reality, there is nothing left.

The alleged Master Mind, Dinesh Dalmia, is reportedly in his homeland of India, being detained, as the Federal prosecutors want him extradited and convicted of all counts, up to 40 years or more. First they have to bring him to the United States.

Reportedly lawyers on both sides have been trying to track down the missing computer equipment and cash. Perhaps sent to India or to an offshore bank account, both US, Great Britain and India law enforcement are seeking answers.

"Dalmia himself has reportedly moved on to the BPO business and is known to be running major call centers at Gurgaon, Bangalore and Chennai!," reports Sucheta Dalal, in “financialexpress.com.”

Allegedly long linked to the Allserve network in the Indian press, Dinesh Dalmia insists he has nothing to do with the now bankrupt company.

"The Chennai correspondent of The Indian Express, Jaya Menon, checked out the addresses listed under the Allserve name," Chennai reported. "As in India , the American creditors allege there is no explanation for $35 million of cash that vanished from the Allserve books between July and October last year.”

US authorities says he fled the United Sates to avoid prosecution, sending cash to foreign banks before he left. Reportedly he had been running his scamming operation from a mansion in Fort Lee, N.J., since late 2003, sending money overseas since he started the scam.

Last January, Dalmia fled again - this time from the U.S. after a series of articles in The New York Post exposed him as the apparent head of a New Jersey-based white-collar crime syndicate.

He was apprehended by Indian authorities after returning to his native country early last month.

According to the New York Post, "The evasive tycoon is now being held under court orders for involuntary "scientific treatment" under a controversial Indian government program that includes 'brain mapping' and chemical injections to force criminal defendants to cooperate during interrogations.

According to press reports in India, the government wants Dalmia to divulge the whereabouts of more than $100 million that he allegedly looted from investors in that country.

Dalmia first came to the attention of federal authorities after a series of exposs in New York Post revealed him to have been living openly in Fort Lee, N.J., since late 2003, despite a worldwide Interpol arrest notice.

The Post coverage identified Dalmia as the alleged mastermind behind the looting of a North Brunswick, N.J., computer-services company called Allserve Systems Corp., which filed for bankruptcy in Newark last November.

The Post drew back the curtain on Dalmia's operations, from secret offshore bank accounts, to his alleged use of forged invoices for bogus companies at fake addresses - all to swindle blue-chip lenders such as IBM Credit Corp. out of millions in equipment finance contracts.

Federal prosecutors and the FBI, which launched a nationwide probe of Dalmia's activities, eventually identified some 20 different multi-million dollar contracts with swindled lenders from San Francisco to Boston.

The government is believed to be preparing criminal charges against additional individuals in the probe as well, it was reported.
