Story Tools NEW ORLEANS, Louisiana (CNN) Former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke pleaded guilty Wednesday to charges of mail fraud and filing a false tax return. Duke faces up to 15 months in prison and $10,000 in fines at his sentencing March 19, The Associated Press reported. The plea came on the same day an indictment was filed, and followed Duke's lawyer's announcement Monday that Duke had returned to Louisiana to negotiate with prosecutors after three years out of the country. U.S. Attorney Jim Letten filed charges alleging Duke made a false statement on his 1998 federal income tax return when he understated his gross income for that year. Duke also was charged with devising "a scheme to bilk his supporters of money by issuing a series of solicitations through the United States mail," beginning in 1993 and continuing through 1999, Letten said. Duke admitted in court Wednesday that he used large portions of the money he solicited for casino gaming, the U.S. attorney said.

126. Tax Shelter Fraud: Legal Resources For Investors Many investors facing audits and penalties by the IRS for following aggressive tax strategies and purchasing tax shelters may have claims against their tax http://www.lieffcabraser.com/tax-fraud.htm

Tax Shelter Fraud: Complaints and Lawsuits Introduction: Investigations of Tax Shelter Fraud Occurring Nationwide Tax Shelters Sold by KPMG Under Investigation Three tax shelters sold by the accounting firm KPMG to wealthy individuals are reportedly the subject of federal investigations. The shelters were marketed under the acronyms FLIP, OPIS and BLIPS. All have been described as convoluted strategies to create investment losses to offset taxable income. The Wall Street Journal Remedies for Individual Investors The full extent of the alleged tax shelter fraud is not presently known. It is expected that the IRS will seek to disallow losses claimed and impose penalties on investors. At the same time, government prosecutors are investigating the firms that sold these products for possible criminal charges. Investors who purchased the tax shelters in good faith and in reliance on opinion letters that the investments complied with the tax code should consider pursuing legal claims against the firms that sold these products. It is unlikely that any actions by governmental agencies will result in a return to investors of the substantial fees that they paid for the tax shelters under investigation.

127. Tax Preparer Fraud Return Preparer fraud generally involves the preparation and filing of false income tax returns by preparers who claim inflated personal or business http://www.unclefed.com/Tax-News/2005/nrfs05-08.html

IRS News Release Home IRS News Releases January 01, 2005 Tax Preparer Fraud Return Preparer Fraud generally involves the preparation and filing of false income tax returns by preparers who claim inflated personal or business expenses, false deductions, unallowable credits or excessive exemptions on returns prepared for their clients. Preparers may also manipulate income figures to obtain fraudulent tax credits, such as the Earned Income Tax Credit. In some situations, the client (taxpayer) may not have knowledge of the false expenses, deductions, exemptions and/or credits shown on their tax returns. However, when the IRS detects the false return, the taxpayer must pay the additional taxes and interest and may be subject to penalties and criminal prosecution. The IRS Return Preparer Program focuses on enhancing compliance in the return-preparer community by investigating and referring criminal activity by return preparers to the Department of Justice for prosecution and/or asserting appropriate civil penalties against unscrupulous return preparers. While most preparers provide excellent service to their clients, the IRS urges taxpayers to be very careful when choosing a tax preparer. You should be as careful as you would in choosing a doctor or a lawyer. It is important to know that even if someone else prepares your return, you are ultimately responsible for all the information on the tax return.

The philanthropist, Herbert Axelrod, sobbed and expressed his remorse for helping a former executive of his pet supply and pet-related publishing company set up a Swiss bank account to hide taxable income from the Internal Revenue Service. "It was always my goal to be remembered as an outstanding philanthropist," said Axelrod, 77, standing before Judge Garrett Brown in US District Court. "Instead I will be remembered as someone who disrespected the law and this court."

Investment Fraud "Paging licenses, pay-per-call 900 numbers, and other high-tech scams are the latest in a long line of swindles to be pawned off on the American public that seems to be blindly in love with anything and everything labeled high-tech...." Dee Harris North American Securities Administrators Association Project Roadblock Announcement January 30, 1996 The Scope of the Problem per consumer . In just two invention promotion cases challenged by the FTC in 1996, defendants took more than $100 million from thousands of consumers over the life of the frauds, following obviously effective advertising on several national cable stations by the fraud promoters. Investment fraud, like telemarketing fraud in general, often targets older people, who may be least able to afford the hit to their savings accounts. As the AARP and the Consumer Federation of America recently reported to the SEC, "[b]ecause their prime earning years have passed and the sources of extraordinary income may be one-time life events, older Americans are less able to repair the damage when they are the victims of fraud or abuse." Fraudulent investment promoters typically use aggressive marketing tools such as infomercials and telemarketing to reach consumers. They also flout state and federal securities registration laws. That way, their promotional materialsincluding profit projections, use of proceeds, and risk disclosuresare not subject to routine regulatory scrutiny.
