Indiana State Attorney General Greg
Zoeller has filed a lawsuit alleging that the defendants listed in the lawsuit are
guilty of fraud. The lawsuit claims that the three out of state business owners
listed in the suit took unfairly took advantage of naïve and gullible residents
of Indiana who had failed to stay on par with their real estate taxes and did
not completely comprehend the sales tax process in its entirety, as reported by
indystar.com.
Zoeller along with some Indiana state
tax lawyers filed the lawsuit in the jurisdiction of Marion Superior County.
The objective of the lawsuit is to essentially recover as much as $9 million in
compensatory damages from the three out of state business owners. The company’s
that the business owners are associated with are based in Florida, Oklahoma,
and Nevada.
The plaintiffs allege that the scam
carried out was rather complicated and very well-orchestrated on the whole. It
describes the defendants as unscrupulous and claims they took advantage of
helpless Hoosiers who were lagging on real-estate tax payments and did not
really comprehend how the sales tax process functions. Who really does? America’s
tax code is rife with complexity – not even the top officials at the IRS
understand the tax code.
Allegedly, the fraudsters would be on
the lookout for properties that were sold as the owners failed to pay real
estate tax payments. They would approach the owner before the property was
redeemed by the tax-sale buyer and would offer the oblivious owner a few
hundred dollars in order for them to overturn their remaining legal rights to
the property explain state tax attorneys.
If you legal help you are not the only
one. Flipping off the IRS only inflames the situation. Ignoring the IRS hoping
they will forget who you are is not going to work either. We all pay too many
taxes and most likely the money will be wasted on programs that do not work but
that is beside the point. You have to pay something. Not paying anything does
not make sense.

Nearly 50 People have Fallen Victim to
the Fraud Say Plaintiffs
The Indiana State Attorney General has
testified that as many as at least 48 property owners in at least four
counties, namely, Marion County, Allen County, Johnson County, and Lake County
have been defrauded by the defendants. Some people believe these white collar criminals
deserve the death penalty. But America has a president in office who would
rather play golf than do what is right.
One particular scam that was highlighted
in the lawsuit is where the defendants paid a property owner a mere $450 and
were able to coax the owner into giving them a quitclaim deed which essentially
transferred the legal ownership of the property to the defendants, say tax
lawyers closely following the case.
In some other cases, authorities were
able to cut in and block the defendants from swindling the property owner, but
many property owners weren’t nearly as lucky.
Scott Congel Lawsuit Dismissed by Judge
A lawsuit filed by property developer
Scot Congel which is centered around claims that Monroe County wrongfully
closed his 30-year tax deal on the Medley Centre has been tossed by a Supreme
Court Judge, according to Syracuse.com.
The Medley Center is a deadbeat mall in
the proximity of Rochester and Congel claims that the County had done him wrong
by terminating his tax deal. However, the Supreme Court found that Congel had
not paid taxes amounting to as much as $3.9 million and hence the County of
Monroe were within their legal scope to end the tax deal.
Dealing with tax issues can be a
daunting task especially when there is a risk of being called
out by the unpopular IRS for non-payment, back taxes, or any
unintentional errors that could have you charged with tax fraud. If you need
