男子提交逾15份虚假报税表骗税判刑3年：谎称逾1300万美元退税、赃款买豪车与金银
Elk Grove 位于加利福尼亚州 Sacramento County，本案在 Fresno 的联邦法院判刑，Fresno 位于 Fresno County。美国司法部加州东区联邦检察官办公室11月2日宣布，原居 Elk Grove 的男子 Marvin Charo Collins 因提交虚假报税表骗取退税，被判刑3年，并须向国税局（IRS）赔偿682,768美元。
Collins 现年52岁。根据法庭文件，2017年至2023年间，他向国税局提交了15份以上的虚假报税表，虚报收入与预扣税款，谎称的退税总额超过1,300万美元。他还设立了包括「Marvin C Collins Estate」在内的虚构实体，用以提交这些虚假报税表。其中一份报税表使他实际领到682,768美元退税；他用诈骗所得购买了一处住宅、一辆2016年款 Maserati，以及价值逾30万美元的金条、银条等贵金属。
2026年1月20日，即原定开庭前约三周，Collins 对起诉书的全部五项指控认罪。检方指出，他的指控源于一套被税务抗议者与「主权公民」采用的繁复「赎回」骗税理论，该理论已被法院一再驳回。联邦地区法官 Jennifer L. Thurston 作出上述判决。
联邦检察官 Eric Grant 表示，被告多年来企图靠一套屡被驳回的理论支撑的税务骗局致富，今日的判决表明提交虚假报税表者将被绳之以法。国税局刑事调查局（IRS-CI）旧金山外地办公室代理负责人 John Abram 表示，尽管一再收到警告，Collins 仍继续提交虚假报税表。案件由 IRS-CI 调查，助理联邦检察官 Arelis M. Clemente 起诉。（来源：美国司法部）
Man Sentenced to 3 Years for False Tax Returns: Claimed More Than $13 Million in Refunds, Bought a Maserati and Gold
FRESNO, Calif. — Elk Grove is in Sacramento County, California, and the sentence was handed down in federal court in Fresno, in Fresno County. The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of California announced on November 2 that Marvin Charo Collins, 52, formerly of Elk Grove, was sentenced to three years in prison and ordered to pay $682,768 in restitution to the IRS for making a false claim against the United States. U.S. District Judge Jennifer L. Thurston imposed the sentence.
According to court documents, between 2017 and 2023, Collins filed more than 15 false tax returns with the Internal Revenue Service in which he reported false income and false tax withholdings and claimed millions of dollars in tax refunds. In total, Collins falsely claimed more than $13 million in tax refunds. As part of his scheme, Collins created fictitious entities, including the "Marvin C Collins Estate," through which he filed his false tax returns. For one of the false tax returns, Collins received a refund of $682,768. Using the proceeds of his fraud scheme, Collins purchased a house, a 2016 Maserati, and more than $300,000 in precious metals, including gold and silver bars.
On January 20, 2026, Collins pleaded guilty to all five counts of the indictment, about three weeks before his scheduled trial. The charges stem from his use of a convoluted "redemption" scheme, used by tax protestors and sovereign citizens, that has been repeatedly rejected by the courts.
"For years, this defendant sought to enrich himself through a fraudulent tax scheme rooted in theories that have been rejected time and again by the courts," said U.S. Attorney Eric Grant. John Abram, Acting Special Agent in Charge of IRS Criminal Investigation (IRS-CI) San Francisco Field Office, said Collins continued submitting false tax returns despite repeated warnings. IRS-CI conducted the investigation, and Assistant U.S. Attorney Arelis M. Clemente prosecuted the case. (Source: U.S. Department of Justice)
