Three members of a Las Vegas family who conspired to steal more than $2
million in income tax refunds from the IRS using made-up businesses and
the identity of a dead brother have pleaded guilty, the U.S. Department of
Justice said Tuesday.

Chanh V. Trinh, Cannedy Trinh and Elizabeth Trinh reported false
withholdings and payments when they filed federal corporate and individual
income tax returns, KSNV-TV reported. The three family members filed the
returns under the names of fictional businesses, their own names and the
names of others, including Chanh’s deceased brother.

Chanh prepared and filed the returns himself, while all three family
members deposited or cashed the refund checks, the station reported. They
used various bank accounts and check-cashing businesses in the area.

The Trinh family masked the stolen funds by buying cashiers’ checks and
exchanging them for gambling chips at Las Vegas casinos, KTNV-TV reported.

When IRS-Criminal Investigation special agents finally caught the Trinhs,
more than $2 million in fraudulent refunds had been paid out by the agency
on more than $6 million in false claims filed, KSNV-TV reported.

Chanh, who also pleaded guilty to aggravated identity theft for using his
dead brother’s name, will be sentenced to eight and a half years under the
plea agreements, KTNV-TV reported. Cannedy will face two years in prison,
while Elizabeth faces a maximum sentence of 10 years under their plea
deals.

The court must accept the plea agreements at a sentencing hearing
scheduled for April.

The Trinh family will also face a period of supervised release,
restitution and monetary penalties, KSNV-TV reported

Donald J. Trump, 304 electoral votes to 227, defeated compulsive liar in
denial Hillary Rodham Clinton on December 19th, 2016. The clown car
parade of the democrat party ran out of gas and got run over by a Trump
truck.

Congratulations President Trump. Thank you for cleaning up the disaster
of the Obama presidency.

Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
The World According To Garp.

ObamaCare is a total 100% failure and no lie that can be put forth by its
supporters can dispute that.

Obama jobs, the result of ObamaCare. 12-15 working hours a week at minimum
wage, no benefits and the primary revenue stream for ObamaCare. It can't
be funded with money people don't have, yet liberals lie about how great
it is.

Obama increased total debt from $10 trillion to $20 trillion in the eight
years he was in office, and sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood queer
liberal democrat donors.
