Dustin Golub, Tax Evasion, Pennsylvania 2023

PITTSBURGH, PA – In a shocking case of financial deceit, Dustin Golub, 35, of Hermitage, PA 16148, has been sentenced to 18 months of incarceration followed by 18 months of supervised release on his conviction of tax evasion. The sentence was handed down by United States District Judge W. Scott Hardy.

According to information presented to the court, for the calendar years 2016, 2017 and 2018, Golub intentionally failed to report in excess of $3.5 million in gross receipts from his business, Penn Ohio Roofing and Siding. This staggering amount of unreported income is a clear indication of Golub’s blatant disregard for the law. In an effort to conceal his receipts, Golub attempted to spread them among nine different bank accounts, including personal accounts and accounts in the names of children.

Furthermore, Golub structured bank transactions to keep them under $10,000.00 in order to avoid the bank’s IRS reporting requirements. This clever tactic, known as ‘structuring,’ is a common method used by tax evaders to disguise their transactions and avoid detection.

The investigation into Golub’s financial dealings was led by the Internal Revenue Service – Criminal Investigation. Assistant United States Attorney Lee J. Karl prosecuted this case on behalf of the government. Acting United States Attorney Stephen R. Kaufman commended the IRS for their tireless efforts in bringing Golub to justice.

Golub’s sentence also includes a fine of $10,000.00 and an order to pay restitution to the IRS in the amount of $510,235.08. This significant financial penalty serves as a warning to others who would attempt to cheat the system.

The case against Golub is a stark reminder that tax evasion will not be tolerated. The IRS and law enforcement agencies will continue to work together to identify and prosecute those who attempt to cheat the system.

Golub’s case serves as a cautionary tale for business owners and individuals alike. The consequences of tax evasion can be severe, and it is never worth the risk. The Grimy Times will continue to follow this story and provide updates as more information becomes available.
