Indian-origin CEO Bankim Brahmbhatt faces $500M fraud charges, accused of faking assets to secure loans before companies filed for bankruptcy and he vanished.
A $500 million fraud case has emerged involving Bankim Brahmbhatt, an India-origin CEO of telecom firms Broadband Telecom and Bridgevoice, accused of fabricating accounts receivable to secure loans.
Lenders, including BlackRock’s HPS Investment Partners and BNP Paribas, allege he misrepresented collateral value and transferred assets offshore.
The companies filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in August 2025, coinciding with reports of Brahmbhatt’s disappearance from the U.S. His legal team denies the claims.
The case highlights growing concerns over risks in asset-based lending, a fast-expanding segment of the private-credit market.
