Escort Service Business Owner Tries to “Trick” the IRS

Dennis Zarudny of Miami, FL pled guilty to filing a false tax return in court for the Southern District of Florida.

Zarundy, owner of Denzar, Inc, which operated under the business name of “Elite Escort Service”, advertised his business on the internet as a “prestigious escort agency providing 24-hour outcall escort services & adult entertainment for upscale gentlemen and couples in South Florida.”

Zarudny not only filed a false individual tax return for 2012, but also filed false corporate and personal returns for the tax years 2011 through 2014.  Customers of the escort service were allowed to pay by credit card, checks or cash.  Zarudny reported all of the credit card transactions but did not report income received by cash or check.

Sentencing is scheduled for this month, where he faces a statutory maximum sentence of three years in prison, supervised release, monetary penalties and restitution.
