A Florida attorney has been sentenced on Wednesday to eight years in prison after pleading guilty to tax evasion and defrauding the U.S. government through a tax shelter scheme. The judgment against the attorney includes a $575K penalty, while his client faces over $8.3M in fines by a Florida Federal Court. Additionally, a separate case saw a Florida judge ruling against a homeowner, imposing fines exceeding $165,000 for three minor code violations.
