Darasomalee Thach, Tax Evasion, Pennsylvania 2021

HARRISBURG, Pennsylvania – A local business owner has been sentenced to two years of probation for his role in a tax evasion scheme.

Darasomalee Thach, a 36-year-old Harrisburg resident, was sentenced on February 23, 2021, to two years of probation by Chief U.S. District Court Judge John E. Jones III, for conspiring to defraud the United States by failing to pay employment taxes.

According to Acting United States Attorney Bruce D. Brandler, Thach previously admitted that while he co-owned and operated a temporary staffing company in Harrisburg, he failed to withhold and pay over employment taxes in order to maximize his personal profit.

The unlawful conduct occurred from 2011 through 2015, resulting in a staggering $360,897.86 in unpaid employment taxes, which Thach was ordered to pay in restitution to the Internal Revenue Service.

The case was investigated by the Internal Revenue Service – Criminal Investigation, with Assistant U.S. Attorney Carlo D. Marchioli and former Assistant U.S. Attorney James T. Clancy prosecuting the case.

Thach’s sentencing marks the end of a long and complex investigation into his company’s tax evasion practices. The case serves as a reminder of the importance of paying employment taxes and the consequences of failing to do so.

As a result of Thach’s actions, the Internal Revenue Service is expected to recover $360,897.86 in unpaid employment taxes, which will help to fund important government programs and services.

The sentencing of Darasomalee Thach is a significant development in the ongoing effort to combat tax evasion and ensure that businesses and individuals are held accountable for their actions.
