U.S. authorities recently announced that a Canadian man from Toronto who lives in Austin Texas was sentenced to 30 months in prison. The felon is reportedly addicted to the casino game and has sought to defraud the U.S. Treasury of nearly $1.8 million in tax refund cash by submitting duplicate refund requests and inflated refund requests filed in the 2000s.

According to the U.S. Department of Justice, the perpetrator's name is William Henry Woo, 67, and he is from Toronto. He reportedly submitted a duplicate or inflated refund request to the IRS service center in Austin, Texas, as a Canadian citizen trying to automatically withhold his win in gambling. It took place from 2006 to 2010.

Mr. Wu succeeded in defrauding the U.S. Treasury of about $1.8 million in tax refund cash, pleaded guilty to two of the nine charges filed against him in October 2022, and now has to pay back $1,771,011.67 in exchange for false statements about his income tax returns.

U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Texas James Esparza explained that Wu, who admitted to gambling addiction, has now lost his biggest bet. She said Wu was caught gambling and tried to defraud the government. She also thanked the IRS's Bureau of Criminal Investigation for investigating the criminal's deception and allowing the system to realize justice.

Also, the U.S. authorities said they are on high alert against bribe recipients like Woo. Ramsay E Covington, a special agent in charge of IRSCI's Houston field office, said fraud schemes against the IRS would not be tolerated. As they say, stealing the IRS treasury is like stealing from every American in the United States.

The National Tax Service official also noted that Woo's sentence shows the seriousness of the crime. He also noted that as the 2023 filling season begins, IRS-CI special agents are committed to quickly reviewing the suspension and proposing criminal prosecution of any fraudulent activity against the IRS. including tax schemes, filing fraud and stolen identity refund fraud.

In Canada, much of the gambling fraud attempts are also covered in the provinces. In Quebec, for example, a former Lotto Quebec employee will be sentenced to one year in prison to serve in the community. Back in 2020, he was caught attempting to cash in funds from Crown Corporation's online gaming platform player.

In addition, former Liberal MP Raj Growal has been accused of abusing his political position and misusing his government budget to defraud millions of dollars. Mr. Growal admitted that he was suffering from gambling addiction, and that is why he broke the law. In his words, he even participated in a self-exclusion program with gaming authorities in Ontario and Quebec.
