BUFFALO, N.Y. - U.S. Attorney James P. Kennedy, Jr.
announced today that Maxim Levin, 40, of Amherst, NY, pleaded guilty before
Chief U.S. District Judge Frank P. Geraci, Jr. to filing a false tax return.
The charge carries a maximum penalty of three years in prison, and a $250,000
fine.
Assistant U.S. Attorney MaryEllen Kresse, who is handling
the case, stated that from 2012 to 2015, the defendant operated Glebova Realty
Group LLC, which purchased, renovated and sold real estate throughout the
Buffalo, NY area. During those years, Levin filed federal income tax returns
but failed accurately to report the gross receipts that he earned from his real
estate business to the Internal Revenue Service and failed to pay taxes on such
income. Specifically, Levin caused over $3,100,000 of gross receipts, derived
from his real estate business, to be excluded from his income tax returns,
resulting in a tax loss of $161,606.
The plea is the result of an investigation by the Internal
Revenue Service, Criminal Investigation Division, under the direction of
Special Agent-In-Charge James D. Robnett, New York Field Office, and the Federal
Bureau of Investigation, under the direction of Special Agent-in-Charge Gary
Loeffert.
Sentencing is scheduled for December 13, 2018, at 10:30 a.m.
before Chief Judge Gerace.
