Press Release
January 7, 2009

Trey Allen P.C. (“PC”) is a corporate entity that, unknown to Attorney Trey Allen, its principal, was used by certain individuals, including a former employee of the PC, in a scheme to commit fraud.  Despite Trey Allen’s lack of knowledge, the PC was subject to indictment under federal criminal law which allows for corporations to be held criminally responsible for acts committed by employees, regardless of the existence of knowledge of the acts by officers or directors of the corporate entity.   Under this law, and pursuant to an agreement between the USA and the PC, the PC pled guilty in connection with the criminal acts imputed to it. The agreement provides that the PC will pay no fine or penalty associated with the acts of its employee, but will pay a monetary sum in restitution for any funds that were paid to the PC as a result of the employee’s acts.  Those individuals believed to have knowingly taken part in the scheme, including a PC former employee, have been criminally charged.  Attorney Trey Allen has not been charged with or accused of having any personal knowledge of any fraudulent acts and finds it extremely unfortunate and regrettable that the PC was used by others to commit criminal acts.
