Jimmy Danh Pleads Guilty to Federal Tax Charges in Baltimore

Baltimore, Maryland - Jimmy Danh, age 60, formerly of Rosedale, Maryland, pleaded guilty today to the federal charges of conspiracy to defraud the United States and to failure to pay over employment taxes.

The guilty plea was announced by United States Attorney for the District of Maryland Robert K. Hur and Special Agent in Charge Thomas Fattorusso of the Internal Revenue Service - Criminal Investigation, Philadelphia Field Office.

According to his guilty plea, from 2007 to 2017, Danh and co-conspirator Darasomalee Thach operated a series of companies that supplied temporary staffing to businesses in Pennsylvania and Maryland.

Danh admitted that for tax years 2011 to 2015, he and Thach failed to consistently file an Employer’s Quarterly Federal Income Tax Return, and failed to report to IRS all wages paid to Team Work employees, resulting in underreporting the employee share of the Social Security and Medicare taxes in the amount of $113,144.19, and the withholding taxes in the amount of approximately $252,827.81.

From about October 31, 2015 to October 31, 2017, Danh conducted his business via a Maryland corporation, JD Team Work, Inc., and undertook the same scheme. During this time, Danh willfully failed to file Employer’s Quarterly Federal Income Tax Returns, and to withhold Social Security, Medicare, and employment taxes. During this time, the total amount of taxes Danh failed to pay was $183,758.23.

Danh admitted that the total amount of taxes he failed to pay from 2007 to the present was $549,730.23. As stated in his plea agreement, as a special condition of his supervised release, Danh will be required to execute a Closing Agreement with the IRS in order to resolve tax liabilities for tax years 2007 through 2017.

Danh faces a maximum sentence of five years in prison for each of the two counts. Actual sentences for federal crimes are typically less than the maximum penalties. A federal district court judge will determine any sentence after taking into account the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors. U.S. District Judge George L. Russell, III has scheduled sentencing for February 23, 2021, at 1:00 p.m.
