QUINCY/WORCESTER—A Quincy resident pleaded guilty last week in connection with filing fraudulent tax returns on behalf of his company, concealing more than $10 million in corporate income from checks cashed in Worcester.
According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office, Su Nguyen, 60, pleaded guilty to aiding and abetting the filing of false tax returns to Senior District Court Judge William G. Young, who scheduled sentencing for Sept. 5.
Nguyen, indicted by a federal grand jury in October 2023, owned General Employment Services (GES), a temporary employment agency operating in Massachusetts from 2016 to 2020.
While Nguyen deposited some client checks into a legitimate business account and reported that income to the IRS, the majority, which totaled more than $10 million, were cashed at a check cashing facility in Worcester. This unreported income and cash wages paid to employees led to a tax shortfall of more than $2 million.
Each charge of aiding and assisting in the filing of false tax returns carries a maximum penalty of three years in prison, one year of supervised release, and a fine of up to $250,000.
