$450 million Fraud: CityTime husband and wife team flee country leaving 200 employees in the lurch

Reddy and Padma Allen fled to their native India after leaving 200 employees in the lurch after raking in $450 million from the CityTime project.

Reddy Allen and his wife, Padma, once were rising stars in the world of computer consulting.

Their company, TechnoDyne, raked in more money as a subcontractor on the Bloomberg

administration's CityTime payroll project than any other - $450 million since 2005.

 

TechnoDyne grew so rapidly that NJBiz dubbed it the No. 2 minority-owned firm in that state. Accounting giant Ernst & Young even honored Padma Allen as entrepreneur of the year last year.

Today, the Allens are fugitives.

 

They flew to their native India a few weeks ago, soon after federal prosecutors subpoenaed them to appear before a grand jury. Their company has since collapsed, leaving more than 200 employees out on the street.

Yesterday, Manhattan U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara unsealed indictments against the couple and their firm on charges of paying millions in kickbacks to get CityTime work, and for money laundering.

The indictment, along with the arrest of another former official from CityTime's prime contractor, Scientific Applications International Corp., brings to 11 the number of people charged with CityTime crimes since December. Two of those have pleaded guilty and are cooperating; a third has since died.
