MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. — Caesar Munir Wilson appeared in U.S. District Court following an indictment for conspiracy to file false tax claims, among other charges.
He is accused of fraudulently requesting over $350 million in tax refunds, resulting in more than $19 million being paid out by the U.S. Treasury.
The indictment claims Wilson used these funds for personal expenses, including purchasing a $2.6 million house in Prior Lake and investing in cryptocurrency. He also allegedly advised sovereign citizens, who believe federal laws don't apply to them, on tax matters.
"Individuals who file false claims for tax refunds and who conspire with others to violate the laws of the United States must be held accountable for their criminal conduct," said United States Attorney Daniel N. Rosen.
The IRS-Criminal Investigation and Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration are investigating the case, with Assistant U.S. Attorneys Matthew D. Forbes and Matthew D. Evans prosecuting.
