popular, 71-year-old real estate developer found guilty of $1.4B fraud

[butters]

A court of law found Fisher guilty of selling $1.4 billion in fraudulent charitable deductions to wealthy investors. In addition, he cheated the IRS out of $458 million in taxes.

a proponent of green tax breaks, it didn't stop this rich bastard from being a greedy con, just like someone else

According to the legal documents, he lured many investors with the promise of inflated tax deductions for agreeing not to develop land. In addition, he exaggerated property appraisals and backdated a lot of documents to mislead the IRS.
He bought luxurious items like houses, an airplane, and several real estate properties. The irony of this was not lost on people as the man who fought for green tax got his massive fortune from tax fraud.

i hope trump's looking at this case and it's giving him pause for concern, especially given the similarity of the charges:

• conspiracy to defraud the US
• wire fraud conspiracy
• aiding in the filing of false tax returns
• filing false returns
• money laundering

he got 25 years
