Florida Real Estate Agent Tried to Evade Paying Taxes: $1.6M in Taxes
A commercial real estate agent in Florida has been charged with tax evasion. The government alleges Thomas W. Daugherty, 53, of Fort Myers, evaded paying approximately $1.6 million in taxes from 1998 to 2005.
According to the government, Daugherty maintained a cash lifestyle to hide his earnings. He refrained from depositing his commission checks into his bank account and instead converted his commission checks into cash and multiple cashier’s checks payable to him. He then deposited cash into his personal accounts to cover expenses about to clear. From November 2002 to April 2008, Daugherty purchased more than 200 cashier’s checks for more than $2.1 million.
He faces up to five years in prison.
