Jose Boyzo, of Myrtle Beach, SC was sentenced to 18 months in prison and ordered to pay $1.6 million in restitution to the IRS for tax fraud.
Boyzo owned a licensed check cashing business; from 2009 to 2014, he cashed more than 4,305 tax refund checks. Unfortunately, those refund checks were generated from fraudulent tax returns and it was proven in court that Boyzo was aware of they were fraudulently generated.
