MCAs, Sky-High Interest Payments, Cash Advances & a Businessman Sentenced for Credit Card Processing Fraud & Tax Evasion



Sean was sentenced to 33 months in prison, three years of supervised release and ordered to pay $85,000 in restitution to victims of a credit card processing fraud scheme as well as $757,000 in restitution to the Internal Revenue Service. Mecham previously pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit wire fraud and willful failure to collect or pay over taxes. Several of Mecham’s family members, as well as one of Mecham’s employees, also previously pleaded guilty to related charges. Mecham served as the CEO of a Mesa-based company that provided credit card processing services. Mecham, and others acting at his direction, intentionally concealed or misrepresented the lease terms for credit card pin-pad machines that were sold to customers. Mecham also directed employees to forge customer signatures on lease contracts and to alter documents. Mecham and his wife also engaged in a separate scheme to withhold and misappropriate employee payroll taxes that should have been remitted to the IRS. Mecham used employee withholdings to sustain a lavish lifestyle which included the purchase of a Maserati, expensive off-road racing vehicles, travel and other expensive personal items.
