Jeffrey H. Sloman, Acting United States Attorney for the Southern District of Florida, and Daniel W. Auer, Special Agent in Charge, Internal Revenue Service, Criminal Investigation Division, today announced the unsealing of a four-count Indictment against defendant Marlon T. Moore, a/k/a Dammon Green, a/k/aTyrone Moore, a/k/a X-Large Moore, 38, of Miami, FL, on charges that he obstructed and impeded the due administration of the internal revenue laws, in violation of Title 26, United States Code, Section 7212(a), and submitted false claims against the IRS, in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 287. Defendant Moore had his initial appearance today before U.S. District Judge Marcia Cooke in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Pre-trial detention hearing has been scheduled for Thursday, June 18, 2009 at 10:00 am.
According to the Indictment, defendant Moore was released as an inmate from the Federal Correctional Complex, located in Coleman, FL, on or about December 28, 2007. After his release, defendant Moore allegedly prepared various fraudulent documents that were sent to the Department of the Treasury and which claimed that the Department of Treasury and the IRS were obligated to pay him various amounts, including $5,950,000,000,000, $2,975,000,000,000 and $6,000,000,000,000. In fact, however, defendant Moore knew he was owed no such amounts.
As alleged in the Indictment, defendant Moore also prepared and submitted numerous false U.S. Individual Income Tax Returns, Form 1040, which made claims against the IRS for refunds of more than $10 million.
If convicted, Moore faces up to three years' incarceration for impeding the due administration of the IRS laws, and up to five years' incarceration for each false statement count.
Mr. Sloman commended the investigative efforts of the Internal Revenue Service, Criminal Investigation Division. This case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Thomas P. Lanigan and Trial Attorney Gregory R. Bockin of the Department of Justice's Tax Division.
