SACRAMENTO, Calif. Ronda Boone, of Vallejo, was sentenced today by U.S. District Judge Troy L. Nunley to five years in prison and ordered to pay $1,968,650 in restitution for a multimillion-dollar tax fraud and money laundering conspiracy. The defendants attempted to steal more than $4.5 million from the IRS, said Michael Daniels, Acting Special Agent in Charge IRS Criminal Investigation. When their scheme finally worked, they moved their money through various accounts, including overseas. Once again this shows the severe nature of fraudulent tax refund schemes perpetrated against the IRS. Today s sentencing sends a clear message that those involved in these types of schemes will be held accountable for their crimes.
