The firm claims that in June 2021 Hirji conceived of a scheme that he subsequently carried out, to defraud Beyond Beige by diverting corporate money from the company’s bank accounts to bank accounts that he controlled.
Hirji also allegedly recorded and annotated the transactions with false and misleading information in the company’s records to disguise that they were misappropriations as opposed to legitimate transactions. The company says that as far as is presently known, the scheme involved fraudulent transfers by Hirji from company bank accounts in the amounts of $778,176 and US$42,013.
The company is seeking an injunction to restrain Hirji from dealing with his bank accounts or other assets as well as damages or restitution for the amount that has been lost by the allegedly fraudulent scheme.
