Orlando Lawyer Convicted Of Tax Evasion

Orlando, Florida – Acting United States Attorney W. Stephen Muldrow announces that a federal jury has found William B. Pringle, III (55, Orlando) guilty of tax evasion. He faces a maximum penalty of five years in federal prison and a maximum fine of $100,000. His sentencing hearing is scheduled for January 22, 2018.

Pringle was indicted on June 14, 2017.

According to evidence presented at trial, Pringle owed more than $2.1 million in federal income taxes, interest, and penalties for the years 1996 and 1998-2010.  Over a period of at least nine years, Pringle avoided paying his income taxes by hiding his substantial income and luxury assets from the Internal Revenue Service and engaging in tactics to stop the IRS from locating and seizing his assets to pay the taxes that he owed. 

This case was investigated by the Internal Revenue Service, Criminal Investigation. It is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Karen L. Gable.
