Las Vegas Man Sentenced for Tax Evasion
A Las Vegas man who earned over $7 million during 2007 and failed to file a 2008 federal tax return with the IRS was sentenced to 10 months in prison, one year of supervised release, and ordered to pay approximately $2.5 million in restitution to the IRS.
Shawn Lampman, 49, was sentenced by U.S. District Judge James C. Mahan. Lampman was originally charged in April 2013 and pleaded guilty on April 14, 2014, to one count of failure to file an individual tax return. He must report to federal prison by April 6, 2015.
According to the guilty plea agreement, during 2007, Lampman earned income in excess of $7 million and willfully failed to make and file an individual tax return with the IRS on or before April 15, 2008.
The case was investigated by IRS Criminal Investigation and prosecuted by First Assistant U.S. Attorney Steven W. Myhre.
U.S. Attorney Daniel G. Bogden for the District of Nevada announced the sentencing, saying, ‘We work with the IRS to enforce the nation’s tax laws.’ Bogden emphasized that his office will continue to enforce tax laws through both criminal and civil litigation to promote voluntary compliance.
Lampman’s sentence serves as a reminder of the consequences of tax evasion and the importance of paying one’s taxes. The IRS will continue to investigate and prosecute individuals who fail to comply with tax laws, ensuring that those who cheat the system are held accountable.
The sentence handed down to Shawn Lampman is a stark reminder that tax evasion will not be tolerated. As Grimy Times continues to expose the dark underbelly of our society, it’s clear that those who choose to skirt the law will face the full force of justice.
This case is a testament to the tireless efforts of law enforcement and prosecutors who work tirelessly to uphold the law and maintain public trust in the tax system.
