Sounds promising all around. A lot of fine details will need to be ironed out, but I'm all for this.
WAKE UP JOPLIN - - DOESN'T BOBBY LANDIS STILL OWE - $6-MILLION DOLLARS - - FOR HIS FEDERAL CRIMES - - WHERE IS THIS MONEY COMING FROM FOR THIS NEXT SCAM???
Government: Landis still owes $6 million+ and violated probation condition, no early release
The federal government and the federal Probation Office have signaled their opposition to Joplin businessman Bobby Landis' request to have his probation end a year early.
In a response filed today in U. S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri, Assistant U. S. Attorney Steven Mohlhenrich noted that Landis still owes more than six million dollars in restitution and violated a term of his probation that prohibits his opening a new line of credit.
The response also points out that Landis, while serving two years in prison "conducted business with another inmate having a history of fraud, and requested permission to continue this business arrangement while on supervised release."
Landis was sentenced to three years in prison on January 27, 2012 after pleading guilty to not paying federal payroll taxes at his business Priority Personnel of Missouri. He was released from prison on December 24, 2014.
Landis is on supervised probation for three years.
Mohlhenrich's response is printed below:
The Government concurs with the recommendation of the Probation Office that the Court should deny the request.
As noted, while in the custody of the Bureau of Prisons he conducted business with another inmate having a history of fraud, and requested permission to continue this business arrangement while on supervised release.
Further, Mr. Landis violated his conditions of supervision by opening a new line of credit, and. Finally, while he has maintained employment and made regular restitution payments to the Internal Revenue Service, Mr. Landis has only paid approximately $5,749.59 in restitution, and has an outstanding balance of $6,258,478.41.
While Mr. Landis may not require the intensive supervision that some other former offenders need, the Government respectfully submits that all conditions of supervision relating to financial responsibility should remain in effect for his full three-year term of supervised release. Consequently, the Government opposes the instant request for early termination of supervision.
Conclusion- For the reasons set forth above, the United States respectfully recommends that the Court deny defendant Robert W. Landis’s request for early termination of his term of supervised release.
Bobby Landis is a crook right along with his little man syndrome having brother mikey
It'll be the greatest thing since sliced bread!
Former Joplin City Councilman and business owner Robert Landis, 44, has pleaded guilty in federal court for failure to pay employee payroll taxes.
Landis, the former owner of Priority Personnel of Missouri, Priority Personnel of Kansas and Loma Landis LLC, appeared in court before U.S. District Judge Richard Dorr on Aug. 24, where he pleaded guilty to failing to collect, truthfully account for, or pay federal employment taxes and federal income tax on employee wages to the Internal Revenue Service, according to a news release from Beth Phillips, U.S. attorney for the Western District of Missouri.
The government assessed the total tax loss at nearly $5 million, asserting that Landis failed to collect, account for or pay employment and income tax for all three of his businesses. Landis, however, pleaded guilty to only failure to collect, account for or pay the payroll taxes that were deducted and withheld from the paychecks of Priority Personnel of Missouri employees. https://sbj.net/stories/former-joplin-councilman-pleads-guilty-to-tax-violations,20951
He did his time...back off you do goobers
The City Council must be joking...is it April Fool's Day already? Turning over control of public facilities, paid for by the citizens, to a private group for their own profit is inappropriate and is a recipe for disaster. An LLC is basically a no-liability no-pay structure in which the principals can walk away from without any financial responsibility. Given the individuals involved this is going to be another Wallace Bajalli/Blasters/Rohr disaster brought to you by the good folks downtown.
