Oregon Man Pleads Guilty to Tax Evasion
Mark Arthur Henriksen, 56, of Monmouth, Ore., pleaded guilty to one count of income tax evasion for the year 2001.
In 2001 and 2002, Henriksen was a principal of Applied Technical Systems, a business in Lake Oswego that installs commercial data networks. In response to a prior IRS levy against him, Henriksen used a friend to act on his behalf as a nominee shareholder of the company in order to circumvent that levy. Henriksen evaded the assessment of his income taxes by instructing employees to make his bonus checks payable not to him, but instead to shell companies he had created.
Henriksen faces up to five years in prison and a fine of up to $100,000.
