Summary
A Minnesota federal judge sentenced Henry Remington Herod, 43, to 30 months in prison and ordered $1.18 million in restitution for a tax-refund fraud scheme.
Prosecutors said Herod and co-conspirators filed 115 false federal returns seeking about $3.03 million in refunds by using fake employment, income and tax-credit information.
From April 2022 through at least May 2023, Herod recruited people to provide names, addresses and Social Security numbers, then took a share of the fraudulent refunds as his fee.
The scheme used bogus refundable sick and family leave credits for 2021 returns and false fuel tax credits on 2022 refund claims; co-defendant Matthew McDowell was sentenced separately on April 6.
