Authorities have said Thomas used the money for personal expenses, including payments to his landlord in Jersey City and airfare and hotel expenses for a trip to Hawaii.
Sudhan Thomas was elected to Jersey City's school board in November 2016.Sudhan Thomas, the former Jersey City Board of Education president and former executive director of the city’s now-defunct jobs program, pleaded guilty Wednesday to embezzling and wire fraud, U.S. Attorney Philip R. Sellinger said.
JCETP received substantial amounts of funding from federal grants from the U.S. Department of Labor and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. At the same time he was embezzling funds, Thomas continued to make wild and false accusations of financial impropriety against the former director of the program, former Gov. Jim McGreevey., just two weeks after he was charged by state authorities with taking $35,000 in bribes related to his 2019 BOE reelection campaign. Those state charges are still pending.
In his run for a Jersey City Board of Education seat in 2016, Thomas collected campaign contributions from September to November 2016 and deposited those funds into a bank account opened for the 2016 campaign that he controlled.
