Randal Scot Brinkman, a 60-year-old Roseville-based construction company owner, was found guilty of six counts of tax evasion by a federal jury in Minneapolis, Minnesota, on [date].
According to court records, from 2002 through 2018, Brinkman took steps to hide his income and actively evade the assessment of taxes, including using sham businesses, closing his personal bank accounts, using money orders and cash to pay for daily expenses, and creating a fake religious organization to hide his income and assets.
Following a 2007 IRS audit, Brinkman filed personal income tax returns for the calendar years 2002 through 2007, admitting that he owed more than $145,000 in federal income taxes for those years. Nevertheless, despite filing the returns, Brinkman didn’t pay any of the taxes he admitted he owed to the IRS.
Brinkman also failed to file tax returns or pay any of his federal incomes taxes from 2012 through 2018.
This case is the result of an investigation conducted by the Criminal Investigation Division of the IRS and the Minnesota Department of Revenue.
This case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Joseph H. Thompson and Alexander D. Chiquione.
Brinkman, a Medina, Minnesota resident, was convicted and faces sentencing in the coming weeks.
