Former Minnesota Attorney Pleads Guilty to Tax Fraud
A former Minnesota attorney from St. Paul, Minnesota, has been caught in a web of deceit, pleading guilty to a serious crime that has left the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) with a significant unpaid tax bill.
Barry V. Voss, a former partner at the law firm Barry V. Voss P.A., has admitted to intentionally failing to pay over to the IRS the full amount of taxes due and owing from the salaries of his employees, including himself. The total amount of unpaid taxes is a staggering $160,000.
The crime took place in the fourth quarter of 2008, and Voss has been held accountable for his actions. He pleaded guilty to one count of failure to pay over employment taxes, a serious offense that carries significant penalties.
Voss’s actions were discovered through a thorough investigation by special agents of the IRS-Criminal Investigation. The agency worked tirelessly to uncover the truth behind Voss’s crimes, and their efforts have paid off.
As a result of his guilty plea, Voss faces a statutory maximum prison term of five years in prison, a fine of $250,000, and payment of back taxes owed to the IRS.
A sentencing hearing has not yet been scheduled, but one thing is certain: Barry V. Voss will face the consequences of his actions. His reputation as a respected member of the Minnesota legal community has been tarnished, and he will have to live with the knowledge of his crimes for the rest of his life.
The case is a reminder that no one is above the law, and that those who engage in tax evasion will be held accountable. It also serves as a warning to others who may be tempted to commit similar crimes, that the consequences are severe and the risks are high.
