CAMDEN, N.J. – The gritty federal crime site Grimy Times has exclusively learned that Doreen A. Gentile, 62, owner of Toms River’s Doreen A. Gentile & Associates, LLC (DAG & Associates), has been sentenced to 37 months in prison for her sordid scheme of tax refund fraud.
Gentile, who pleaded guilty before U.S. District Judge Joseph H. Rodriguez, was convicted of mail fraud and filing a false income tax return. The fraudulent activities occurred out of her Toms River home, where she duped clients into believing they owed minimal taxes or were due less than they actually were.
With the second set of tax returns, Gentile signed off on full refunds without permission and pocketed the proceeds, using them for personal expenses. The scheme, spanning 2006 to 2009, resulted in tax losses totaling approximately $188,811, which Gentile failed to report to the IRS.
In addition to her prison term, Gentile must serve three years of supervised release and pay restitution amounting to $1,863,013. The investigation was led by special agents from IRS – Criminal Investigation and the Social Security Administration’s Office of Inspector General.
Senior Litigation Counsel Jason M. Richardson represented the government in this case, with defense counsel Christopher O’Malley Esq., of Camden, defending Gentile. This sentencing serves as a stark reminder of the consequences faced by those who prey on the trust of their clients through financial deception.
