This past February, Roy Albert Lewis, a Danville, California dentist, was sentenced to two years at ClubFed for hiding $300,000 over ten years. This past week, it was his father’s turn.
Leroy Albert Lewis is an oral surgeon, but his medical career likely came to an end last week. He pleaded guilty in May to one count of tax fraud. He was sentenced to two years at ClubFed, plus he must make restitution of $909,527. Leroy Albert Lewis is the father of Roy Albert Lewis.
His attorney said that the elder Mr. Lewis suffered from “hubris and greed.” Both Lewises fell victim to secret offshore bank account scheme operated by Tower Executive Resources, Ltd. Joe Kristan reported on Tower back in 2006; Paul Harris, the promoter of Tower, was sentenced to five years at ClubFed. The scheme made the payments look like they were for consulting services. They weren’t; it was simple tax fraud.
The younger Mr. Lewis is doing his time in ClubFed in Lompoc. It’s quite possible that the elder Mr. Lewis will soon be in a neighboring bunk.
