IRS Criminal Investigation (IRS-CI) conducted many successful enforcement actions in fiscal 2022. In one case, a married couple carried out a billion-dollar fraud scheme through a solar energy firm. With fake financial and engineering reports, the couple duped investors out of money that was used to fund their lavish lifestyle. Among other endeavors, the couple owned a minor league baseball team and luxury real estate. The federal government seized and auctioned 148 of their vehicles, recouping more than $8 million for victims. The husband received a 30-year prison sentence and his wife, an 11-year sentence for their actions. To read the IRS-CI annual report: https://bit.ly/3Dt7Gn2
