Muskogee Man Sentenced to 37 Months for Wire and Tax Fraud
David Allen Edwards, a 69-year-old man from Muskogee, Oklahoma, has been sentenced to 37 months in prison for his role in a wire and tax fraud scheme.
Edwards was found guilty of wire fraud, tax fraud, and failure to account for and pay employment taxes owed. The charges stemmed from an investigation by the Muskogee Police Department, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and the Internal Revenue Service – Criminal Investigation Division.
The investigation revealed that Edwards devised a scheme to defraud Children’s Clinic, PLLC, out of $403,307.09. Edwards also willfully made and subscribed a false 2010 Form 1040, U.S. Individual Income Tax Return, which contained a false Adjusted Gross Income of $116,610.00 in additional income that was fraudulently obtained from Children’s Clinic, PLLC.
Agents also discovered that Office Medic, Inc., which is owned and operated by Edwards, withheld payroll taxes from its employees’ paychecks, including federal income taxes, Medicare, and social security taxes, but failed to send $534,342.09 in withholdings to the Internal Revenue Service.
Edwards was ordered to pay restitution in the amounts of $143,272.88 to Children’s Clinic, PLLC, $18,000.00 to Ron Wright, and $534,342.90 to the Internal Revenue Service. The defendant will report to the Bureau of Prisons on April 8, 2016, to serve his nonparoleable sentence.
The Honorable Frank H. Seay, Senior District Judge in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Oklahoma, presided over the hearing. First Assistant United States Attorney Doug Horn represented the United States.
