Fake Priest Had False Returns

Earl Wolfe was an unlicensed architect in Jupiter Farms, Florida. That’s one crime in itself. He earned around $750,000 but reported only $600 on his tax returns. The IRS and Department of Justice weren’t appreciative of his efforts, and he has been found guilty of tax fraud.

What did he do with the other $749,400? He allegedly cashed $600,000 at check cashing stores, put some of the money in a Nevada Corporation, and hid some as a priest (Church of the Divine Deduction?). Unfortunately, he wasn’t a priest, and putting his home and motorcycles in his “ministry” wasn’t successful. His co-defendants pleaded guilty earlier this month. Mr. Wolfe will be sentenced later this year and will likely get some time at ClubFed.
