According to court documents and court testimony, Tiangang Zhuang, 49, formerly of Philadelphia, controlled and operated Pilestone Inc. and Golden Mermaid, Inc., both of which were involved in the development and sale of eyewear, electronics and cosmetics for color blind people. From around 2017 to 2019, Zhuang provided his accountants with false financial records that intentionally understated Pilestone’s and Golden Mermaid’s gross earnings. As a result, the auditors prepared corporate income tax returns for both companies, which understated their earnings for each of those years. Since the business income generated by the two companies was included in Zhuang’s personal tax returns, he minimized the income reported on his personal tax returns and the tax liability by giving incorrect information to the accountants. For example, in his individual statement in 2018, Zhuang stated that he earned approximately $163,769 in taxable income, although he knew he actually received more than $660,000 that year. Overall, Zhuang caused the IRS to lose about $219,663 in taxes. Zhuang is scheduled to be sentenced on March 14, 2023. He faces a maximum sentence of three years in prison for filing a false tax return. He also faces a period of supervised release, restitution and fines. A federal district court judge will determine the sentence after considering US sentencing guidelines and other legal factors. Acting Assistant Assistant Attorney General Stuart M. Goldberg of the Department of Justice’s Tax Division and US Attorney Jennifer Arbittier Williams for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania made the announcement. The IRS Criminal Investigation Department is investigating the case. Deputy Chief Jorge Almonte and Tax Trial Attorney Catriona M. Coppler are prosecuting the case.
