Federal prosecutors have charged Houston billionaire Robert Brockman in a $2 billion tax fraud scheme that they say is the largest such case ever against an American.

Department of Justice officials said at a news conference Thursday in San Francisco that 79-year-old Brockman hid the money over 20 years in a complicated scheme involving false returns and secret bank accounts.

Prosecutors also charged him with investor fraud.

The indictment was unsealed Thursday and Brockman is scheduled to make an appearance.

Brockman is the chairman and CEO of Reynolds and Reynolds. He is also chairman/CEO and founder of Universal Computer Systems, Inc.
