IRS TERROR TALE OF THE MONTH TANGLED WEB OF TAX FRAUD OF FORMER TRUMP CFO
In the words of Sir Walter Scott, “Oh what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive.” In the case of 75-year- old Allen Weisselberg, former longtime Trump Organization chief financial officer, he’s woven a very tangled web indeed. This January, a judge sentenced Allen Weisselberg to five months in jail for tax fraud. Weisselberg pleaded guilty to 15 felony counts in August 2022. Interestingly, Weisselberg will stay on as a senior advisor to the Trump Organization and continue to receive his $640,000 salary until he completes his prison sentence, after which he’ll leave the firm. He already received his $500,000 annual bonus. Weisselberg could have landed in prison for up to 15 years but struck a plea deal with prosecutors and had his sentence reduced by testifying in two other Trump tax fraud trials. Because of Weisselberg’ s testimony, both the Trump Corporation and the Trump Payroll Corporation were found guilty in December 2022. During testimony, Weisselberg admitted that he didn’t pay taxes on off-the-book compensation the Trump Organization made
on his luxury apartment, private school tuition for his children and grandchildren, car, and other personal expenses in an effort to reduce his own taxes. He even put his wife on payroll for a $6,000 payment so she could collect Social Security payments. After hearing all the testimony, Judge Juan Merchan said he would have given Weisselberg a stiffer sentence if he didn’t already have a deal for five months in prison. “The entire case was driven by greed,” said Judge Merchan. “But perhaps nothing spoke more loudly to that greed than the $6,000 payment to his wife.” To add to this tangled web, Donald Trump vehemently defends his former employee and friend saying on his social media platform that Weisselberg is going to jail for not paying a small tax while “…drug dealers and murderers freely roam the sidewalks of New York with nothing being done to stop them.” For Weisselberg, who has already paid over $2 million in fines, penalties, and back taxes and is now behind bars, he said he regrets the harm his actions have caused the Trump Organization and Trump family.
