Another Man Sentenced for Tax Evasion –

A shifty-eyed character with slicked back hair and a crooked grin was sentenced to 21 months in the slammer; ordered to pay the IRS a whopping $509,455 in restitution, and ordered to file corrected tax returns for tax years 2007 through 2011. And that isn’t all - the would be wise guy who wore designer clothing, enjoyed fine food, and frequented the hottest nightspots, evaded federal income taxes from 2007 through 2011. Falsifying expenses was his game, and as such, the bad news bear prepared and filed his own tax returns, created bogus business expenditures and deducted them from his Schedule C income. The truculent tax evader even had the temerity to provide the IRS with a false lease agreement and phony invoices.

Guilty as Sin - Chiropractor Sentenced For Tax Evasion

Donald Gibson was sentenced to 33 months in prison for tax evasion and for presenting a fake financial instrument to the U.S. Department of Treasury. Gibson failed to file his 2004 through 2014 individual income tax returns and attempted to evade his income tax liabilities for these years by diverting money to a warehouse bank called MYICIS, cashing over $800,000 in business checks at a check-cashing facility and submitting fake money orders and bogus financial instruments to the IRS. Gibson  also formed Sovereign Christian Mission (SCM), a purported religious organization, as a way to further hide his chiropractic income and pay for his personal expenses. Gibson used SCM to pay for his groceries, entertainment, dinners, and car repairs. While the IRS was auditing his tax returns and later during the criminal investigation, Gibson presented a fake financial instrument purporting to be worth $300 million to the IRS and claimed that it paid off his income tax liabilities.
