Two Subway franchise managers and a gas station manager, all residents of Virginia, pleaded guilty to aiding and assisting in the filing of false tax returns. As part of their guilty pleas, the defendants admitted that they did not deposit all of the Subway franchises’ or the gas station’s gross receipts into the corporate or partnership bank accounts. Instead, they retained a portion of the gross receipts for their personal benefit. Additionally, two of the defendants admitted that they maintained detailed records of the Subway franchises’ and gas station’s total sales, the amounts deposited into the bank accounts and the amounts distributed to each of them for their personal benefit, and that they later destroyed those records.
