Company Description
Entellium was founded in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, in May 2000 by Paul Johnston, a former Apple sales executive. The company moved its headquarters to Seattle, WA, in 2003 . Entellium continues to maintain a research and development office in Kuala Lumpur.
Wire Fraud Scandal
On October 7th, 2008, Paul Thomas Johnston, the former CEO of Seattle-based Entellium Corp., and Parrish L. Jones, former chief financial officer, were arrested and charged with wire fraud for lying to investors in U.S. District Court in Seattle.
According to the FBI, the two software executives “devised a scheme to defraud investors in the company by representing that company revenues far exceeded the actual figures.”
The government alleges that actual 2006 revenues were $582,789 but the pair inflated the revenues to nearly $4 million; actual 2007 revenues were $1.4 million inflated to $6.2 million; and actual 2008 revenues were $1.7 million inflated to $5.2 million.
The false revenue numbers, according to the government, were used by the pair to attract millions of dollars in private investment, including $19 million from Ignition Partners, of Bellevue. Two Ignition partners told government investigators that they never would have made such an investment had they known the actual revenue figures.
Forty Entellium staff were laid off after the arrests.

On December 2nd, 2008, Entellium filed Chapter 11 Bankruptcy protection, paving the way for some assets to be sold to financial software maker Intuit.
