Eileen O'Connor Pay Quotations

Federal law provides serious penalties for filing false tax forms. People who engage in tax fraud schemes can expect to pay back taxes, plus interest and penalties, and may face criminal prosecution for evading taxes.

The Department of Justice is firmly committed to shutting down fraudulent trust schemes that cost the treasury and law-abiding taxpayers millions of dollars each year.

Today's plea is the result of determined efforts by United States investigators and attorneys working to vindicate the trust the American people deserve to have in the institutions of their government, including the tax system that supports it. People who enrich themselves by engaging in illegal activities compound their crimes by failing to pay taxes on their ill-gotten gains.
