Quote:
Dr. Jack Klundert was found guilty in May for not paying more than $348,000 in taxes. Judge Terrence Patterson said he intended the sentence to be a deterrent because tax evasion is a “serious crime and not just a social misbehaviour.”
Federal prosecutor Ed Posliff said he hopes other people get the picture.
“Even though he’s a first offender, other potential tax evaders should understand that there’s a real chance they’ll go to jail,” Posliff said outside court. “It’s not just going to be a monetary penalty. The idea is that will serve as a deterrence against them embarking on a course of tax evasion.”
