Maxim Maltsev of Russia, and who resided in San Diego from May 26, 2006, to Sept. 27, 2006, was sentenced to 18 months in federal custody and ordered to repay $136,000 to the Internal Revenue Service.

Maltsev was charged in a sealed indictment with one count of conspiracy to defraud the United States regarding claims. He pleaded guilty in July 2009.

According to his guilty plea, Maltsev admitted that he was part of a conspiracy to obtain federal income tax returns requesting refunds before they were electronically filed with the IRS.

The conspirators then changed the bank account information on the returns to divert the refund payments from the taxpayers to accounts opened for that purpose by members of the conspiracy. To that end, Maltsev opened bank accounts at four banks in San Diego. Approximately 65 federal income tax refund payments, totaling around $105,000, were illegally diverted to the accounts opened by Maltsev.

Maltsev also convinced three friends to participate in the scheme, running the total loss to the IRS to $136,000. Those funds were withdrawn by debit, check cards and ATM withdrawals.
