Bhogavalli made his initial appearance yesterday afternoon before U.S. Magistrate Judge Paul D. Stickney, who ordered him detained pending a detention hearing set for tomorrow, Friday, October 28, 2016, at 2:00 p.m., before U.S. Magistrate Judge Renée Harris Toliver.
According to the complaint, victims from throughout the U.S. were contacted by individuals claiming to be IRS agents. Victims were advised there were outstanding warrants for their arrest and they would be sent to jail unless they deposited money orders, and sometimes cash, into bank accounts controlled by Bhogavalli and other accounts used by co-conspirators in the scam.
Bhogavalli used at least two Bank of America accounts in the scam, one in the name of Tekdynamics, Inc. and one in the name of Touchstone Commodities, Inc. The investigation revealed that Bhogavalli also controlled additional accounts used in the money soliciting scam, including a Citibank account held in the name of Touchstone Commodities.
