Michael Bennett was a decent running back in the league for a few years. Injuries kept him for reaching his full potential.
When the checks stopped coming in he decided the best way to get paid was to STAY SCHEMING.
Former NFL players William Joseph, Michael Bennett and Louis Gachelin have been arrested by the FBI and are charged with an identity theft and tax fraud scheme.
According to the Herald, lax IRS oversight makes it easy to fraudulently receive tax refunds: The IRS often disperses refund money before actually checking to see that the taxes a filer claims to have paid match what the filer’s employer withheld. The process the IRS uses eventually catches people who misrepresent their own taxes, but a criminal who steals someone else’s identity can receive a refund in that person’s name without the victim of the identity theft ever realizing it. By the time the IRS and the identity theft victim discover the erroneous refund, the money has already been taken by the identity thief — and the IRS allows those identity thieves to have the refunds deposited onto prepaid debit cards, which are difficult to track.
