Big Time Lawyer In Vegas Busted

 
Who in Las Vegas has not seen the TV commercials for Randolph Goldberg, the bankruptcy lawyer?
Well, he's in a bit of legal trouble as he has been charged with tax evasion.
From the LVRJ: High-profile Las Vegas bankruptcy attorney Randolph Goldberg was indicted Wednesday by a federal grand jury on tax evasion charges.
Goldberg, 48, who regularly advertises on television, faces four counts of tax evasion over a four-year period and five counts of structuring financial transactions to avoid paying taxes.
The government also is seeking to recover more than $1.1 million.
The 18-page indictment alleges that Goldberg filed false tax returns from 2005 to 2008. He used two separate Bank of America accounts to deposit the legal fees he received from his clients, but only reported the income deposited into one of the accounts to the Internal Revenue Service, the indictment alleges.
Between January and December 2008, according to the indictment, Goldberg structured 147 cash deposits into five Bank of America accounts totaling more than $1.1 million to evade taxes.
A warrant was issued for Goldberg's arrest.  http://www.lvrj.com/news/las-vegas-bankruptcy-lawyer-faces-tax-charges-170381166.html
Goldberg is a sleazy lawyer.  In his commercials, he says for $99 down, he will file your bankruptcy.  Well, to some people, it implies that is the cost of the bankruptcy.  And what happens if you don't anything more than the $99?  Well, nothing because he won't continue working on the case.
So, if he is guilty, he will be spending some time in the hoosegow.
