“Those withholding accounts should not be emboldened to continue to hide,” the prosecutor said.
Warner’s attorney, Gregory Scandaglia, said the fine his client paid was the largest of its kind in the history of U.S. tax enforcement. He said Warner accepted full responsibility for his actions and knew what he did was wrong.
“The judge heard from many people who have benefited from Ty’s quiet generosity over the years, and he crafted a sentence that allows Ty to continue to make amends in a way that most benefits society,” Scandaglia said in a statement after today’s hearing.
The case is U.S. v. Warner, 13-cr-00731, U.S. District Court, Northern District of Illinois (Chicago).
