Former NH Direct Mail Printer Pleads Guilty To Tax Charge
A former owner of a New Hampshire printing company specializing in direct mail advertisements has agreed to plead guilty to a charge relating to his role in a tax conspiracy, according to the Department of Justice.
According to the one-count felony charge filed in the U.S. District Court in Boston, Ronald Boyarsky assisted in paying approximately $2.6 million in commissions earned by a printing services broker to third parties, so that the broker and his companies could avoid paying taxes on the income they earned.
Boyarsky, who currently lives in Apollo, FL, was the president and partial owner of a printing company that specialized in direct mail advertisements. Numerous media sources identified the printer as Precision Technology of Pembroke, NH.
The department said in a court document that from 1999 through at least 2004, Boyarsky directed his company to pay the commissions to family, friends and associates of the broker, according to a statement.
Many of the third parties typically cashed checks written to them, and then passed the cash back to the broker. As part of this scheme, the printing company paid some of the commissions directly to businesses from which the broker procured personal goods and services, according to the Department of Justice statement.
The tax conspiracy charge carries a maximum sentence of five years in prison and a maximum fine of $250,000. The maximum fine for the offense may be increased to twice the gain derived from the offense or twice the loss suffered by the victims of the offense, if either of those amounts is greater than the statutory maximum fine.
