In a statement, a special agent of Internal Revenue Service’s Criminal Investigation department Mr. Jonathan D. Larsen said that the accusations in the condemnation against Ms Noemi Pender should be an eye opener for the taxpayers on how important it is to choose an ethical and reputable tax practitioner.

In addition to this every count in the condemnation also carries a fine equal to the higher of USD 250,000/-, two times the gross financial loss suffered by any of the victims of the crime, or double the gross financial gain resulted from the crime.
