Sameer Gupta, a New Jersey resident, pled to an information charging one count of tax evasion. The announcement for the USAO D-NJ is here. Gupta diverted corporate business receipts to 17 bank accounts into offshore banks accounts for himself and his family, 6 of which were with HSBC in India. He also diverted significant amounts into other accounts (there may have been some evasion unrelated to offshore accounts). In all, he evaded taxes of $1,198,054 in income for 2006 through 2009.
He "agreed to pay a one-time FBAR penalty of $259,045."
"The tax loss resulting from Gupta’s conduct is greater than $200,000 but less than $400,000"
The judge is District Judge Faith Hochberg. (Wikipedia entry here.)
