After working with BDO and Chammas for a decade, Fat Joe says he recently noticed “a slew of irregularities and fraudulent activity,” including unpaid bills, revenues that were never deposited into his accounts, payments for credit cards that did not belong to him, and much more. When he moved to investigate the problem, Fat Joe says BDO “ignored his pleas or made up stories to cover their trail.”“Rather than cooperate with a longtime client and offer to lend assistance, BDO and Chammas have employed a different strategy: stonewall and delay,” Fat Joe’s lawyers wrote.
Other accusations in the lawsuit include that Rodriguez committed identity theft – including a claim that she was “so brazen that she used the ATM located in BDO’s building to obtain cash advances from the cards and used the cards to pay her child’s school tuition.” A spokeswoman for BDO USA did not immediately return a request for comment from the company and its employees. Chammas and Rodriguez could not immediately be located individually.
