Montgomery, AL – In a stunning turn of events, Anton Miles has been sentenced to two years in federal prison for his role in a fraudulent tax refund scheme that bilked the United States government out of over $164,000. The revelation came as part of a guilty plea entered by Miles on May 9, 2013, according to United States Attorney George L. Beck, Jr., and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).
Miles, who operated under the alias A and M Mobile Car Wash, opened a bank account in January 2012. Between then and March 2013, he fraudulently received approximately 120 false federal income tax refunds totaling $164,526, court documents reveal. The scheme involved filing false tax returns using stolen identities.
With the fraudulent proceeds, Miles made unauthorized withdrawals from his account, leaving a trail of financial devastation in his wake. The IRS – Criminal Investigation unit was instrumental in uncovering and prosecuting the crime, according to officials.
Michael Boteler, Charles Edgar, Jr., of the United States Department of Justice, Tax Division, and Assistant United States Attorney Todd Brown were the trial attorneys who led the prosecution against Miles. Their efforts contributed to the justice served in this case.
