C.E.O. Accused Of Tax Fraud

Lee Nobmann, c.e.o. of Golden State Lumber, Petaluma, Ca., pleaded not guilty to IRS charges of understating his personal and business incomes. and those of several family members.

Nobmann pleaded innocent to five counts of tax evasion and 12 counts of aiding and abetting the preparation of false tax returns for others at a U.S. District Court in San Francisco.

"These allegations are based on a disgruntled employee that I fired two years ago, who has everything to gain and nothing to lose," Nobmann said. He is referring to Jim O'Brien, former chief financial officer for Golden State, according to the IRS's 2001 search warrant affidavit.

P.O.

Nobmann added he is confident he and the company will prevail in the matter and be found innocent of the charges. "I know who I am, I know what I do, and I know what I do for my employees, my family and the communitv." he said. "At the end of the day, it's me who has to look myself in the mirror, and I'm very confident doing that."

His attorney, John Youngquist, added that Nobmann "did not attempt to evade his taxes in filing these returns, and certainly did not knowingly sign false returns. It's up to the government to prove each of these counts beyond a reasonable doubt."

Nobmann could face a maximum of five years and $100,000 in fines for each count of tax evasion and a maximum of three years in prison and $100,000 in fines for each count of aiding and abetting, if convicted, said assistant U.S. Attomey Jay Weill.

Weill added that Nobmann allegedly underpaid "somewhere between the thousands and the millions."

Fax(ToT)

The investigation focused on whether Nobmann diverted corporate funds to acquire personal possessions, such as classic cars, a jet airplane and lumber for building three homes. It also alleged that he was involved with tax-evasion schemes to pay employees in lumber and money to buy land, so that he could avoid payroll taxes.

In addition, his business income in corporate tax returns reportedly were understated. as were income in individual tax returns filed for Jessica Nobmann and Seth Nobmann, who claimed income from Golden State Lumber for 1997 through 2000.
