San Diego男子罗珀认罪逃税：11年收入近1,900万分文未报 欠税逾670万却购豪车
司法部通报，San Diego男子彼得·L·罗珀（Peter L. Roper）已就一项逃税罪认罪。根据法庭文件与庭上陈述，罗珀经营多家位于La Jolla的公司，在全美营销与销售所谓的联邦税收抵免；2010年至2021年间，他与名下公司获得近1,900万美元收入，应缴联邦所得税逾670万美元，但他从未在税表上申报这笔收入、也未向国税局缴税。
司法部称，罗珀在此期间用公司银行账户支付个人开支，并把资产登记在他人名下以图隐匿。他没有缴税，而是花187,432.34美元买了一辆2015款迈凯伦650S Spider，又花277,698.50美元买了一辆2021款阿斯顿·马丁DBX。
罗珀定于2027年1月8日量刑，逃税罪最高刑为5年监禁，最终刑期由联邦地区法院法官依量刑指南等因素裁定。此案由国税局刑事调查处调查，司法部助理总检察长科林·M·麦克唐纳（Colin M. McDonald）与加州南区联邦检察官亚当·戈登（Adam Gordon）宣布了认罪消息。
San Diego Man Roper Pleads Guilty to Tax Evasion: Nearly $19 Million Unreported, Over $6.7 Million Owed
The Justice Department said Peter L. Roper of San Diego has pleaded guilty to one count of tax evasion. According to court documents and statements in court, Roper operated various La Jolla-based businesses that marketed and sold purported federal tax credits nationwide. Between 2010 and 2021, Roper and his businesses received nearly $19 million in income, on which he owed more than $6.7 million in federal income taxes — none of it reported on tax returns or paid to the IRS.
Prosecutors said Roper used his businesses' bank accounts to pay personal expenses and concealed assets by titling them in the names of others. Instead of paying taxes, he spent $187,432.34 on a 2015 McLaren 650S Spider and another $277,698.50 on a 2021 Aston Martin DBX.
Roper is scheduled to be sentenced on January 8, 2027, and faces a maximum of five years in prison; a federal district judge will determine the sentence under the sentencing guidelines and other statutory factors. IRS Criminal Investigation investigated the case. Assistant Attorney General Colin M. McDonald and U.S. Attorney Adam Gordon for the Southern District of California announced the plea.
