Admits failing to report approximately $2.28 million in income from dental practice




DALLAS — Michael L. Robinson, a Dallas resident and the sole proprietor of a Texas general dental practice doing business as Michael L. Robinson, D.D.S., pled guilty today in federal court in Dallas to one count of tax evasion, announced U.S. Attorney Richard B. Roper. He faces a maximum statutory sentence of five years in prison, a $250,000 fine, and restitution. As part of his plea agreement with the government, Dr. Robinson agrees to pay restitution to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) of $195,875, which will also be applied to his civil tax liabilities to the IRS. He also has agreed to cooperate with the IRS in preparing and filing true and correct income tax returns for tax years 2002, 2003, and 2004, and will establish a payment schedule with the IRS for the payment of all taxes, interest, and penalties owed in connection with his tax debt.

According to the factual resume filed in the case, during tax years 2000 through 2004, Dr. Robinson willfully and knowingly evaded paying income tax and failed to file an individual tax return for each of those tax years. That document goes on to state that Dr. Robinson sent numerous letters to the IRS in which he challenged the legal authority of the IRS to assess and collect income taxes and claimed that he was not constitutionally required to pay income taxes. In addition, he admitted in the document that he purchased advice and documentation from fraudulent trust promoters to assist him in evading payment of his federal taxes, knowing that the documents he purchased were designed to prevent the IRS from collecting federal income taxes from him.

The factual resume further states that Dr. Robinson used numerous trusts and entities to receive income earned and to hold assets obtained from the operation of his dental practice. He then deposited his dental practice income, and personal assets purchased using that income, into these trusts and entities to hide those assets and income from the IRS. From 2000 through 2004, Dr. Robinson also failed to file income tax returns for the trusts and entities and failed to pay any federal income taxes on their behalf. Dr. Robinson admitted to paying for his home mortgage, living expenses, vehicles, and a personal boat by using dental practice income he funneled through the trusts and bank accounts. He paid his dental practice employees in cash and failed to issue them 1099s or W-2s.

In addition, he admitted in the document that he purchased advice and documentation from fraudulent trust promoters ...

Do we know which promoters?

Do we know which promoters?

From the Information:

Robinson purchased advice and documentation from promoters of fraudulent trust, including, but not limited to, Ben Houck Consulting located in Owensville, Ohio, Joe Sweet located in Brandenton, Florida, and the Heritage Group located in Scotts Valley, California, to assist him in evading the payment of the federal income taxes derived from his dental practice.

Joe Sweet located in Brandenton, Florida

That would be Dr. Joe Sweet, M.Div., and D.M.Th. of the Joy Foundation.

I see in the Quatloos archivesthat Joe Sweet was enjoined from selling illegal tax shelters in February, 2002. Yet Dr. Robinson continued to rely on Sweet's scheme, or a similar one, for 3 more years?

Ben Houck appears to be merely an IMF decoder. He is credited with the discovery that the IRS secretly codes each IMF with an indicator to show drug dealing, just before they file the a notice of federal tax lien.

[Judge Roy Bean]

I have to come to the defense of any fairly high-net-worth professional in these circumstances with a slight bias.

While in practice, what amount of your mental bandwidth do you dedicate and/or apply to subjects and issues outside your profession?

Imagine this - the Beechcraft Bonanza airplane got a reputation as the "doctor killer" in part because some part of the population who could afford to fly it came from the medical profession and some part of them weren't maintaining their proficiency in it. After all, they're some of the smartest people around, no?

So when we delve into the why's and how's of various professionals falling into what we see as absurdities, consider what might happen to you when the guy in the other seat says, "It's your airplane."

IMHO, 90% of the "professionals" from other disciplines are going to give it a shot and rely on their gut. They believe in what they've been told about a subject that wasn't their mainstream background because it came from someone they trusted.

There is a tendency to look to specialists for expertise in a given subject because you are a product of a system that turned you into one.

Rant off.

The Heritage Group in Scotts Valley would be Larell Baldwin. That guy once stole an entire article of mine and published it on his website without permission.
