A Quincy man has been sentenced to 18 months in prison for filing false corporate tax returns, concealing over $10 million in revenue, and evading more than $2 million in taxes. Su Nguyen, aged 60, received the sentence from U.S. Senior District Court Judge William G. Young in a federal district court in Boston. Following his prison term, Nguyen will undergo 12 months of supervised release and must pay restitution amounting to $2,090,192.77.
Nguyen pleaded guilty in May 2024 to three counts of aiding and assisting in the filing of false tax returns after being indicted by a federal grand jury in October 2023.
From 2016 to 2020, Nguyen owned General Employment Services (GES), a temporary employment agency based in Massachusetts. While some client payments were deposited into a business account and reported to the IRS, most checks were cashed at a Worcester check casher. This cash was used personally by Nguyen and to pay employees off-the-books. Consequently, Nguyen did not report this income or wages paid in cash to the IRS, resulting in unpaid taxes exceeding $2 million.
The announcement was made by United States Attorney Joshua S. Levy; Jonathan Wlodyka, Acting Special Agent in Charge of the Internal Revenue Service’s Criminal Investigation in Boston; and Jodi Cohen, Special Agent in Charge of the Federal Bureau of Investigation's Boston Division. The case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Christopher J. Markham and Kriss Basil from the Securities, Financial & Cyber Fraud Unit.
