Boston Crime: Local Businesswoman Sentenced for Tax and Mail Fraud
A Randolph woman has been sentenced to 18 months in prison for her involvement in a payroll tax avoidance scheme.
Lilian Giang, 56, was sentenced by U.S. District Court Judge Richard G. Stearns to 18 months in prison followed by two years of supervised release and ordered to pay $845,382 in restitution.
Liang was convicted in April 2024, following a three-day jury trial, of four counts of failing to collect and pay over taxes and one count of mail fraud. Giang was indicted in March 2023.
The crime occurred between 2015 and 2019, when Giang owned and operated Able Temp Agency (Able), a temporary employment agency in Quincy that served client companies in Massachusetts.
Giang hid more than $3.2 million in payroll and avoided paying more than $800,000 in required payroll taxes. She also falsified Able’s payroll numbers to obtain worker’s compensation insurance at lower premium rates.
The case was announced by Acting United States Attorney Joshua S. Levy and Harry Chavis, Jr., Special Agent in Charge of the Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigation, Boston Field Office, with valuable assistance provided by the Insurance Fraud Bureau of Massachusetts.
Assistant U.S. Attorneys Christopher J. Markham and Kristen A. Kearney of the Securities, Financial & Cyber Fraud Unit prosecuted the case.
