Explanation:
“Tax evasion is not a victimless crime,” said Acting Special Agent in Charge Adam Steiner, Internal Revenue Service – Criminal Investigation. “Today’s sentence exhibits that the IRS and U.S. Attorney’s Office are duty-bound to protect the integrity of the U.S. tax administration system, and to make sure everyone complies with their tax obligations.”
