In addition to the term of imprisonment, United States District Judge S. Maurice Hicks, Jr. ordered Poimboeuf to one year of supervised release and to pay restitution to the IRS in the amount of $1,904,477.
Acting United States Attorney Alexander C. Van Hook and Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General Richard E. Zuckerman thanked special agents of the IRS-Criminal Investigation who conducted the investigation, and Trial Attorney Kevin Schneider of the Tax Division, who assisted Acting United States Attorney Van Hook in the prosecution of the case.
According to court documents, Poimboeuf filed false tax returns from 2011 through 2015, causing a tax loss of more than $1.9 million to the IRS.
Poimboeuf's sentencing brings an end to a lengthy investigation into his business practices. The case serves as a reminder of the importance of honesty and transparency in financial reporting.
