Paul Walczak

According to prosecutors, Walczak withheld more than $7.4 million in trust-fund taxes — Social Security, Medicare and federal income taxes — from health care employees in the network between 2016 and 2019. He also failed to pay $3.5 million in employer-side payroll taxes, bringing the total tax loss to more than $10.9 million.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Brian Flanagan said that rather than directing the money to the IRS, Walczak used it to sustain a life of luxury. He bought a yacht that cost more than $2 million, transferred hundreds of thousands to himself to supplement his $360,000 salary, and bought goods from Bergdorf Goodman, Cartier and Saks.

........

Walczak is the son of Betsy Fago, a longtime Republican donor who once hosted a fundraiser at her Jupiter mansion where attendees circulated the stolen diary of Joe Biden's daughter, Ashley.
