A 67-year-old retired FBI agent in Nevada has pleaded guilty to evading about $109,000 in income taxes, authorities said.
Jan Lindsey of Henderson, Nevada, pleaded guilty Friday in Las Vegas to one count of felony tax evasion. Sentencing is set for July 9.
The 26-year-veteran of the FBI retired in 1995 and then went on to work for the next 10 years as a contractor for the FBI performing background investigations, authorities said.
Authorities charged that he failed to timely file or pay federal income tax from 1999 to 2006 and “committed various acts that were designed to hide his income and assets from the IRS, including placing assets in nominee names, presenting or recording fraudulent documents in an attempt to obtain lien and levy releases on his property, filing false returns after liabilities were assessed in an attempt to reduce or eliminate his unpaid liability, and presenting frivolous financial or negotiable instruments to the Department of the Treasury in claimed payment of his outstanding tax liability.”
