A New Hampshire man named Imtiaz Shaikh has been sentenced to 1.5 years in prison and ordered to pay $2.8 million to the State of New Hampshire for evading taxes on the sale of certain tobacco products.  According to state law, wholesale distributors of other tobacco products (OTP) must be licensed, file reports on the number of OTP sold, and pay taxes at 65% of the wholesale price.  To avoid paying taxes on his products, Shaikh conducted business through a number of shell corporations, robbing the state of $2.8 million in unpaid taxes.  USAO NH
