Geovanys Guevara, Causing False Currency Transaction Reports, Florida 2015
A federal jury has convicted Geovanys Guevara, 41, of Hialeah, Florida, of three counts of causing the filing of false reports of cash payments over $10,000 received in a trade or business.
According to court documents, Guevara purchased three cars at a Miami-Dade car dealership: a Ferrari involving cash in the amount of $95,000, a Lamborghini involving cash in the amount of $20,000, and a Rolls Royce involving cash in the amount of $50,000.
Guevara used a straw buyer on the paperwork, causing the car dealership to file Form 8300 that contained material omissions and misstatements of fact concerning the true identity of the person from whom the currency was received.
Federal law requires every non-financial trade and business to file a Form 8300 with the Treasury Department to report cash payments received over $10,000 during a transaction or two or more related transactions.
At sentencing, which is currently set for August 27, 2015 at 10:00 A.M. before Senior Judge James Lawrence King, Guevara faces a maximum term of 30 years in prison.
The case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Elijah A. Levitt and Timothy Abraham.
U.S. Attorney Wifredo A. Ferrer commended the investigative efforts of the South Florida Financial Crimes Strike Force, with special commendation to IRS-CI, the Opa-locka Police Department, and the MDPD.
