Pension Planning Executive Indicted
| U.S. Attorney’s Office October 13, 2009 |
United States Attorney Michael L. Levy today announced the filing of an Indictment against Charleen Ryan, charging that she knowingly made false statements on an annual report regarding the assets of an employee benefit plan she was servicing. Ryan owned Philadelphia Pension Planning Corporation (“PPPC”), which was in the business of providing services for retirement plans for its clients. One of PPPC’s clients was Bustleton Landscaping Co. The indictment charges that Ryan falsely represented in an annual report for Bustleton Landscaping’s employee benefit plan that it had over $797,000 in assets in the beginning of 2003, when it had significantly less than that amount due to losses that Ryan was knowingly concealing.
