IRS Employee Gets Jail Time for Tax Evasion: How’s That for Irony?

[Conservative Angle]

Who says karma isn't always lurking in the shadows ready to deliver justice?

It definitely seems that way, especially after an IRS employee was busted for tax evasion.

How's that for irony?

It happened in Salt Lake City, Utah, when a former IRS employee was sentenced to prison for tax evasion.

Craig Orrock, 72, was found guilty by a jury of tax evasion and obstructing the IRS's laws.

Orrock is a former IRS attorney.

A jury convicted Orrock in back in May after evidence showed he failed to pay taxes for 22 years — and used bank accounts, trusts, and other names to hide his assets from IRS collection agents.

Here's more of the story:

A former attorney and IRS agent was sentenced Tuesday in Las Vegas to 32 months in prison for failing to pay more than $500,000 in federal income taxes, according to the Justice Department.

Craig Orrock, 72, of Salt Lake City, was found guilty of tax evasion and obstructing the internal revenue laws in May.

Orrock filed tax returns from 1993 to 2015 but did not pay taxes during that time, according to a Wednesday release from the department.

He used nominee entities, bank accounts and trusts in other names to prevent the IRS from tracking down the money, the release said.

Orrock also was ordered to pay $923,666 in restitution and to serve three years of supervised release. (source: Las Vegas Review Journal)

Prosecutors say Orrock used an entity called Arville Properties LLC to hide a $1.5 million property sale in 2007.

In another karma-driven twist of fate, just a few days before Orrock was sentenced, another IRS agent was indicted.

Tamara Miller, a former Internal Revenue Service employee in Kansas City, was indicted by a grand jury and accused of orchestrating a scheme to steal tax refund money.

Miller worked as a data transcriber at the Kansas City Service Center and part of her [job] was to handle income tax returns mailed to the IRS, inputting the data into the IRS computer system.

Miller is accused of selecting tax returns that elected to have the Treasury Department pay by check instead of direct deposit, using that taxpayer's personal information to open bank accounts she controlled, and then entering the fraudulent bank account information on the “refund” section of the tax form.

The indictment cites two victims, with a total loss amount of $5,214.

Miller was charged with two counts of wire fraud, one count of aggravated identity theft and two counts of theft of public money. (source: Business Journal)
