Mauricio Baiense, the owner of Contract Framing Builders, Inc., faced 18 months in prison for tax fraud and making false statements to investigators.
Baiense funneled $11 million from his company account, using cash from subcontractors he controlled to evade paying employment taxes for his employees.
The U.S. Attorney's office noted that Baiense lied under oath about a fatal workplace incident, denying the deceased employee’s affiliation with his company.
In addition to his prison time, Baiense is liable for paying nearly $2.8 million in restitution to the federal government for taxes owed.
