Indiana marketer cons town and supplier in fuel fraud case

摘要

Federal IRS and EPA have closed many of the loopholes that enabled fuel crooks to profit via tax cheating or selling inferior fuel. But the recent sentencing of one Indiana fuel distributor indicates that end-users might need to audit their fuel purchases at a local level.rnSentenced last week for defrauding the town of Clarksville, Ind., of nearly $450,000 was Gary V. Crowe Sr., 73, head of Jubilee Oil Co., Jeffersonville, Ind. Crowe had previously pleaded guilty, and a U.S. District Court in New Albany, Ind., ordered him to make financial restitution and serve 18 months in federal prison.
