Biblical tax cheat pleads guilty to filing for $2.9 billion in phony refunds to buy five-bedroom house, Mercedes Benz and Cadillac Escalades

David Isagba, 53, and his wife Joyce, 47, had been accused of submitting 227 false tax refund claims over the course of a decade, seeking billions of dollars to which they were not owed. The refund claims were filed for phony trusts, some with ancient Hebrew names like Tetragrammaton and Yetzirah.

Another trust was called Heaven’s Gate II Corp., in an apparent reference to the suicidal Heaven’s Gate cult.

Almost all of the bogus claims were rejected, but nine slipped through, with the IRS paying out $5.8 million to the couple, federal prosecutors said. The pair used some of the money to buy a five-bedroom house in Leesburg, Fla., as well as several Mercedes Benz sedans and Cadillac Escalades, according to court filings.

With each rejected claim, the IRS sent notices warning the couple to stop or face fines for false filing. But the pair would refuse to accept delivery, stymying government efforts.

In 2017, the IRS filed suit to seize the couple’s home, claiming it had been purchased with stolen government money. The couple stalled by placing the home in the name of various trusts, not responding to efforts to contact them and then renting the home out as the government moved to foreclose on the property.

Taxpayers and end up penniless selling pencils on a street corner.

3. And then there is the child pornography case

On Wednesday, Isagba pleaded guilty in Florida in the tax fraud case for which he faces up to 30 years in prison. He had previously pleaded guilty in New York in the child pornography case and is scheduled to be sentenced in July. Charges are still pending against his wife, Joyce, with her trial set to begin in May.

4. Now that the IRS is done with this case they can now move on to investigating TFG.

5. $2.9 BILLION?

The plan must have been to inundate the system, then when 0.2% slipped through the cracks, they still got nearly $6 million.
And, if one denies the legitimacy of the government, why would they trust that government to provide them with money?
