Get Tax Help to Avoid Jail Time Like Las Vegas Man Charged With 15 Years For Tax Evasion

Robert Kahre, the owner of six construction businesses in Las Vegas who paid employees over $100 million in cash wages as part of an elaborate scheme to defraud the IRS, was sentenced to more than 15 years in prison.

“Citizens who pay their fair share of taxes can rest assured that the Department of Justice will continue to utilize all of its resources to prosecute those who choose to cheat and promote fraud,” said John A. DiCicco, Acting Assistant Attorney General of the Justice Department Tax Division, in a statement.

Following an over three-hour sentencing hearing, visiting U.S. District Judge David A. Ezra, of the District of Hawaii, sentenced Robert Kahre to serve 190 months in federal prison, followed by three years of supervised release and ordered him to pay over $16 million in restitution to the IRS. Judge Ezra also ordered that Kahre, who has been free on a personal recognizance bond since he was arrested in 2005, be immediately taken into the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service.

“This kind of conduct is simply not acceptable in the United States,” said U.S. Attorney Daniel Bogden. “Individuals who ignore the federal tax laws by engaging in schemes to defraud in order to enrich themselves at the expense of others will be prosecuted.”
