Plaintiff,
v.
INFORMATION
LAWRENCE MENDELSOHN,
(26 U.S.C. § 7206(1)]
Defendant.
THE
UNITED STATES ATTORNEY CHARGES:
On or about October 15, 1999, in
the District of Oregon, the defendant, LAWRENCE MENDELSOHN, willfully signed a
false U.S. Individual Income Tax Return for 1998, which was verified by a
written declaration that it was made under the penalties of perjury and that
the return, accompanying schedules, and statements to the best of the
defendant’s knowledge and belief were true, correct, and complete. Mr.
MENDELSOHN knew the return was materially false because the return claimed a
long-term capital loss of 51,731,991.94 from a purported sale to John Condas of
a debt owed to the defendant by S&S Investors, LLC. Additionally, Mr.
MENDELSOHN knew that the return was materially false because the return also
claimed a short-term capital loss of $387,361 representing Mr. MENDELSOHN and
his spouses proportionate shares of a purported sale to John Condas of a debt
owed to Mendelsohn Family Limited Partnership by S&S Investors, LLC, in
violation of Title 26, United States Code, Section 7206(1).
DATED this 21st day of
November, 2003.
