Bricker, Special Agent in Charge of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, Criminal Investigation, announced today that Steven R. Belanger, 40, and, Robert.

The Superseding Indictment alleges that, during all relevant periods, Steven R. Belanger and Robert.

Belanger arranged for the purchase of hundreds of thousands of dollars in treasurer's checks to prevent detection of their fraudulent scheme, structured the treasurer's checks to avoid the preparation and filing of Currency Transaction Reports, and understated the gross business receipts of Number One Foundations in their personal tax eturns filed with the IRS for calendar years 1999 and 2000.
If convicted, the defendants each face up to 5 years imprisonment, to be followed by 3 years of supervised release, and a $250,000 fine on the conspiracy charge.
