Comment: I think this fails both WP:BLP1E and WP:CRIMINAL. Consequently, I don't believe we should have an article on this subject. DoubleGrazing (talk) 07:28, 27 April 2024 (UTC)
Prithviraj Bhikha (born 1968 or 1969[1]), also known as Roger Bhikha,[2] is a former senior director of global supplier management at Cisco Systems, Inc. in San Jose, California, who was arrested and convicted for his involvement in a fraud scheme and tax evasion.[1][3][4] He pleaded guilty in November 2020 to conspiracy to commit wire fraud and aiding and assisting in the filing of a false tax return. Bhikha admitted to receiving kickback payments totaling $1.15 million from a vendor retained by Cisco, and concealing his own company, Lucena Limited, from Cisco to serve as a vendor for a project called "Project New York."[5] Between 2014 and 2017, Cisco paid Lucena and its affiliated company over $10 million for price negotiation services, while Bhikha failed to report the income, resulting in a $2.5 million underpayment to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). In August 2021, Bhikha was sentenced by Senior Judge of the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, Charles Breyer to 36 months in prison, ordered to pay $1.15 million in restitution to Cisco and over $2.5 million to the IRS, and forfeit two properties in San Francisco.[2][5][6]
