Ex-bookkeeper sentenced for tax evasion, theft in Massachusetts
BOSTON (WWLP) – A former Massachusetts bookkeeper was sentenced for concealing income from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and stealing disability benefits.
Springfield man arrested in Longmeadow following break-in investigation
The Department of Justice states that 55-year-old David Tetreault of Attleboro worked as a bookkeeper for a Massachusetts-based electrical contractor between 2015 and 2021. During that time, Tetreault received wages in cash and used the company funds to pay his personal credit card bills.
He manipulated the electrical company's accounting records and bank statements to cover up these payments as business expenses. Because of this, Tetreault underreported his personal income by at least $2.1 million, which caused a loss to the IRS of over $600,000.
Additionally, he did not report his work for the contractor or income to the Social Security Administration, and provided false information about his employment and income to the Employees' Retirement System of Rhode Island (ERSRI).
Tetreault was sentenced to 18 months in prison, followed by three years of supervised release. He has also been ordered to pay $623,602 to the Internal Revenue Service, $159,816 to the Social Security Administration, and $161,835 to the Employment Retirement System of Rhode Island in restitution.
Back in October, Tetreault pleaded guilty to one count of tax evasion, one count of theft of government money, and one count of wire fraud.
