Paul Walczak

According to prosecutors, Walczak withheld more than $7.4 million in trust-fund taxes — Social Security, Medicare and federal income taxes — from health care employees in the network between 2016 and 2019. He also failed to pay $3.5 million in employer-side payroll taxes, bringing the total tax loss to more than $10.9 million.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Brian Flanagan said that rather than directing the money to the IRS, Walczak used it to sustain a life of luxury. He bought a yacht that cost more than $2 million, transferred hundreds of thousands to himself to supplement his $360,000 salary, and bought goods from Bergdorf Goodman, Cartier and Saks.

........

Walczak is the son of Betsy Fago, a longtime Republican donor who once hosted a fundraiser at her Jupiter mansion where attendees circulated the stolen diary of Joe Biden's daughter, Ashley.

... means there is money in it for me.

Old, poor, desperate people's nickels and dimes are real fraud since they cannot benefit me.
