The indictment alleges that Fenzell used nominee entities, including River Valley Dental and Brookline Dental Associates Trust, to conceal his dental practice receipts. He also used multiple bank accounts in three separate states, including commingled accounts maintained by third parties, to conceal his ownership of funds.
