Guyana’s appoints convicted fraudster as Kuwait ambassador

Sep 07, 2016, News, http://www.kaieteurnewsonline....s-a-convicted-felon/

Foreign Minister Carl Greenidge either did not do thorough background checks on his appointees to ambassadorial positions, or he was reckless with his appointments.

Dr. Shamir Ally

Dr. Shamir Ally

He appointed convicted felon, Shamir Ally, as Guyana’s ambassador to Kuwait.

Ally was convicted on March 4, 2003 by United States District Court Judge, Michael M. Baylson, for dissemination of false financial information by Acrodyne Communications, Inc. (“Acrodyne”) in press releases and Commission filings in 1998, 1999 and 2000.

The conviction was specifically for violations of the antifraud and recordkeeping provisions in keeping with the United States Securities regulations. Ally, who was charged jointly with A. Robert Mancuso and Ronald R. Lanchoney, was fined US$10,000. His co-conspirators were fined US$50,000 and US$10,000 respectively.

In addition, the final judgments prohibited Ally’s co-conspirators, Mancuso and Lanchoney, from acting as an officer or director of a public company.

The Securities Exchange Commission alleged that Mancuso (Acrodyne’s former CEO and president), Lanchoney (Acrodyne’s former Chief Financial Officer), and Ally (Acrodyne’s former controller) were aware of numerous and significant problems with Acrodyne’s accounting controls, but failed to assure that Acrodyne’s financial transactions were accurately recorded.

The Commission claimed that, as a result of the actions of Mancuso, Lanchoney and Ally, Acrodyne engaged in inaccurate and improper cost accounting and revenue recognition.

The Commission also alleged that, starting in the second quarter of 1999 and continuing through the first quarter of 2000, Ally directed that unsupported journal entries be made to the cost of sales and inventory accounts to bring Acrodyne’s financial statements in line with the gross margin percentage he had estimated for the period. The Commission claimed that Mancuso approved these fraudulent adjustments for the first quarter of 2000.

Given the conviction, Ally cannot vote in the United States.

Acrodyne Services provides service and support for Broadcast transmitters throughout the world. This includes the large installed base of transmitters sold by Acrodyne Industries over its 40-year history.

Acrodyne Services operates out of facilities in Pennsylvania and Maryland.

SECOND TIME
Earlier this year, Ally was also named as Deputy Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Guyana Office for Investment (GO-Invest).

This is the second time that Guyana actually appointed a convicted felon to a diplomatic posting. The last time this happened was in 1993 when the late President Dr. Cheddi Jagan appointed Satyadeow Sawh as ambassador to Venezuela. That appointment did not go through because Venezuela responded to the report on Sawh and refused to grant its agreement.

would be great to hear Amb Ally side of this. I hope he is reading



I sent him an email

Come on, Amral. 

Even if he is reading what is posted on this board, he should not respond to the vicious, inflammatory material posted here. A lot of what is posted here about other persons is downright inaccurate and malicious,  posted in a cowardly manner by persons using nicks. Some here think that their nicks allow them to say the  most irresponsible and nasty things and they are not accountable. Don't they know that a nick is not an effective veil in the technological age we live in. All veils can be lifted. 

I hope the gentleman does not engage with the "veiled" antagonists here.

BTW, was Sawh a convicted felon?  He certainly did serve as Ambassdaor to Venezuela for 3 years. He was also bestowed with one of that country's highest awards.

The problem is that it is extremely difficult to find a Guyanese suitable for jobs in high office who have no criminal record or connections to criminals. The country has been a breading ground for thieves and murderers well before the British had left us to sort out our own mess. Even numerous members on GNI are somehow involved in less than honest activities in Guyana or within the Guyanese community.

These are mere excuses and outright lies to suggest that qualified Guyanese are crooks. The fact is that the PNC are only looking to reward their acolytes with cushy positions rather than to seek out candidates based on qualifications.

Looks like this crook resigned previously from the afc and ran back once the soup began dripping.

Bitter dispute ends with resignation from AFC Member

Former AFC Member, Dr Shamir Ally

The Alliance For Change (AFC) has accepted the resignation of its member, Dr. Shamir Andrew Ally, who was associated with the New York, AFC Chapter.

This was confirmed by the Party’s Leader, Khemraj Ramjattan, who told iNews that “strenuous efforts” were made to reconcile differences that Dr. Ally had with a few members in the New York AFC Chapter.

“Reconciliation was not reached. The quarrel was bitter and obviously prompted his departure,” Mr. Ramjattan told this news site.

Dr. Ally made his resignation known in the publication of a letter in one of the local newspapers yesterday (Tuesday, September 10). He expressed his disappointment with the AFC internally and externally.

“Many emails were sent to AFC leadership on my Guyana ‘on site’ experiences on a number of issues, including finances, controls, discipline, management, leadership, et al. At the New York/New Jersey AFC chapter, a few individuals have hurdled insults, character assignations and caustic remarks to me and Dr Somar, and no person in the AFC leadership, took concrete action to ensure that there will be no repetition of such behaviours,” Dr. Ally said in his letter.

He went on to explain, “Recently, emailed insults, character assignations and caustic remarks have been hurled at the New York/New Jersey AFC chapter chairman Dr Somar without abatement. Perhaps, some members may condone, support or encourage such behaviours, since no discipline is being enforced.”

Meanwhile, although he did not comment on the actual details of the dispute, the AFC Leader said that Dr. Ally’s resignation was accepted with “much pain and sadness

Only when we raise our hands and confess that we are a bunch of crooks are we going to be able to do something about it. Even young kids in Guyana are brought up in the believe that thieving is OK.

This was one big rass cock fight aggravated by weak leadership!  In the end, money talked and BS walked.  Shameer Ally got them all expelled and he reclaimed his positon.  Most then kiss up Granger anyway!

That culture was since Burnham days. Guyana developed categories of thieves. When the PPP took over, dey already knew to thief. Jagdeo and his cronies took it up several notches. Granger and his band of crooks taking it to infinity. No bady in the land dare to challenge dem. The next thing, the army boys goan seize the country soon as Granger goan to the other world. 

Granger no different than CBJ. When told of the tiefing, "dem bais punish too long under the PNC." he said.

Granger, samething. Only dis time is nah civilians, it is the defense force. He too feel dey punish too long under the PPP.

Guyana ***ked. Sentiments doan allow disguising the profanity.

Is things like this that DrugB and his PPP buddies refuse to acknowledge. Is only the black man that gets locked up and branded a crook and murderer. The PPP lot can afford big lawyers to hush up their case. So then they walk round boasting on GNI "I am not guilty".
