Earlier this month, four senior citizens in Kentucky were indicted on charges of tax evasion and conspiracy to defraud the U.S. government. Specifically mentioned in the indictment is how the defendants allegedly stole bingo proceeds from a local charity bingo operation and failed to report $782,000 in revenues to the IRS.
The four seniors, aged 60 to 65, have entered “not guilty” pleas to the charges against them. In addition, lawyers for the group of four are maintaining that their clients are innocent of any wrongdoings in their bingo dealings. A May 1st trial date has been set to begin investigating whether the foursome is made up of ill-fated innocents or an experienced bunch of bingo bandits.
