White’s actions drew severe legal consequences, marking a significant breach of trust as employers are entrusted to handle these payments responsibly.
I-Barr Owner $2.5M Payroll Tax Evasion : The Scope of the Scheme
White’s indictment revealed that T-Line Construction LLC, registered under his wife’s name and operating out of Texas and Georgia, had around 100 employees. Despite this large workforce, White failed to make necessary quarterly tax payments, which led to the indictment in March 2023. The IRS uncovered his failure to pay during several years of business operations, particularly with I-Barr Construction, his Georgia-based trade name.
He pled guilty in April 2023 to failing to remit payroll taxes, specifically for a quarterly payment in 2017, admitting his oversight in the midst of managing a multi-state construction operation.
No Comment from Legal Teams
Neither the U.S. Attorney’s Office nor White’s legal representative, Frank G. Podesta of FGP Law, responded to requests for comment regarding the case. However, the government’s prosecution team, led by Angela Adams and Erin N. Spritzer, ensured that White faced justice for his years of evasion.
