佛罗里达州注册会计师逃税逾220万美元被判18个月监禁：藏匿资产多年，另须赔偿234万美元
美国司法部10月26日宣布，佛罗里达州注册会计师（CPA）Ronald St. Clair 因逃避缴纳超过220万美元的所得税被判处18个月监禁，并被责令支付2,343,615.01美元赔偿；St. Clair 此前已就一项逃税罪认罪，该案由国税局刑事调查部门（IRS-CI）侦办。
根据法庭文件与庭上陈述，St. Clair 在2011年至2017年间累积了大额税款债务，并试图向国税局藏匿资产。2020年，在国税局通知他将对其资产采取强制征缴后，St. Clair 卖掉了一处自有房产，把所得款项转入一个以第三方名义开立的银行账户；把钱转出自己名下后，他继续把这笔钱用于个人和生意开销，同时在向国税局申请分期付款计划的过程中故意不披露这些资金和资产。
检方在量刑时出示的证据显示，St. Clair 多年来把钱藏在他人名下的银行账户里，并把房产权益放在不属于他名下的公司名下，以此隐匿收入和资产；他还层层嵌套多家商业实体，掩盖自己对本应用于缴纳欠税的资金的实际控制。
该案由司法部国家欺诈执法司助理部长 Colin M. McDonald 与佛罗里达中区联邦检察官 Gregory W. Kehoe 宣布，检方团队包括欺诈司税务科助理副主任 Marissa R. Brodney、刑事司审判律师 Aaron I. Henricks 与佛罗里达中区联邦助理检察官 Jesus M. Casas。
Florida CPA Ronald St. Clair Sentenced to 18 Months for Evading More Than $2.2 Million in Income Taxes, Ordered to Pay $2,343,615 in Restitution
The U.S. Department of Justice announced on October 26, 2026, that Ronald St. Clair, a Florida Certified Public Accountant (CPA), was sentenced to 18 months in prison for evading the payment of more than $2.2 million in income taxes, and was ordered to pay $2,343,615.01 in restitution. St. Clair pleaded guilty to one count of tax evasion, and the case was investigated by IRS Criminal Investigation.
According to court documents and statements made in court, St. Clair attempted to hide his assets from the IRS after accumulating tax debts for 2011 through 2017. In 2020, after the IRS notified St. Clair that it intended to levy his assets to collect his unpaid taxes, St. Clair sold real property he owned and transferred the proceeds into a bank account in a third party's name. After transferring these funds out of his own name, St. Clair directed the money for his personal and business use and intentionally failed to disclose these funds and assets while he was seeking a payment plan with the IRS.
At sentencing, the government presented evidence that St. Clair spent years concealing income and assets by hiding his money in bank accounts held in the names of others, and hiding his interests in real estate by placing properties in the names of businesses not held in his name. The Department said St. Clair layered business entities to conceal his control of funds that he chose not to direct toward the taxes he owed.
Assistant Attorney General Colin M. McDonald of the Justice Department's National Fraud Enforcement Division and U.S. Attorney Gregory W. Kehoe for the Middle District of Florida made the announcement. The prosecution team included Assistant Deputy Chief Marissa R. Brodney of the Fraud Division's Tax Section, Trial Attorney Aaron I. Henricks of the Criminal Division and Assistant U.S. Attorney Jesus M. Casas of the Middle District of Florida.
