David Evdokimow Gets 3 Years for $5.8M Tax Evasion

David Evdokimow, 56, of Harding Township, New Jersey, is headed to federal prison for three years after being convicted of siphoning more than $5.8 million in medical practice income to fund a lavish lifestyle while dodging nearly $3 million in federal taxes. The plastic surgeon, who ran De’Omilia Plastic Surgery P.C. in Basking Ridge, used a web of shell corporations and secret bank accounts to disguise personal spending as business expenses from 2006 to 2010.

Evdokimow was convicted on all eight counts of a superseding indictment: one count of conspiring to defraud the United States, four counts of personal income tax evasion, and three counts of corporate tax evasion. U.S. District Judge Noel L. Hillman handed down the 36-month sentence in Camden federal court following a three-week trial that laid bare Evdokimow’s elaborate scheme to hide millions from the IRS.

Court documents and trial evidence revealed that Evdokimow conspired with associates to form shell companies, then had them open bank accounts in those companies’ names. He obtained their signatures or signature stamps, giving him total control while masking his involvement. Millions in income from De’Omilia were funneled into these accounts and falsely recorded as legitimate business expenditures.

Meanwhile, Evdokimow used both the shell company and corporate De’Omilia accounts to pay for over $5.8 million in personal expenses. These included luxury residences, designer clothing, jewelry, artwork, and extravagant vacations—all falsely claimed as tax-deductible business costs. The IRS was left in the dark while Evdokimow lived high off the books.

He also cashed more than $360,000 in checks from patients between 2009 and 2011 through personal bank accounts, never reporting the income on his federal tax returns. These direct payments for medical services were never logged in his corporate records, further erasing the trail of taxable revenue.

In addition to 36 months behind bars, Judge Hillman sentenced Evdokimow to one year of supervised release and imposed a $96,000 fine. He has already paid the back taxes owed. The case was investigated by IRS-Criminal Investigation, under Special Agent in Charge Jonathan D. Larsen, and prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Paul Murphy and Justin Herring. Defense was provided by James Kridel, Esq., of Clifton, New Jersey.
