A Mississippi man pleaded guilty to evading federal income taxes totaling over $2 million. Eric Brian Rosenberg used a practice called ‘check churning’ between 2016 and 2020, repeatedly withdrawing funds via cashier’s checks to obscure financial transactions. He also formed a company to establish a nominee bank account, continuing the scheme. During this period, Rosenberg spent more than $1 million on casino gambling. He faces a maximum penalty of five years in prison after being sentenced on December 16. The case is being prosecuted by the Justice Department’s National Fraud Enforcement Division and the Southern District of Mississippi. IRS Criminal Investigation is involved. The Fraud Division, established in April 2026, focuses on prosecuting fraud against federal programs.
