From 2008 through 2011, they failed to report more than $347,000 in income, resulting in tax due of more than $102,000.

Dan Casey also admitted paying cash to contractors who worked on his barn following a fire. He failed to report the payments to the Internal Revenue Service. The Caseys were ordered to pay $102,000 in restitution.
