No individual or entity is bigger than the law. Outstanding case IRS Criminal Investigation New York Field Office!
American Express (AMEX) agreed to pay a criminal fine of $77.6M and forfeit $60.7M to resolve a wire #fraud investigation. AMEX admitted to engaging in sales practices that provided inaccurate tax advice to customers and potential customers of AMEX on two of their wire products. According to court documents, in early 2018, AMEX launched Payroll Rewards (PR), a wire product that allowed business customers to pay their payroll via a direct payment from an AMEX account. In May 2019, PR was expanded to include Premium Wire (PW), thereby allowing customers to use the products for wire payments beyond payroll. The products were incorrectly marketed as a means to generate tax savings, specifically targeting small and mid-size businesses that valued a reduced tax burden over increased profitability. AMEX gave its customers incorrect tax advice and did not consult with tax professionals to verify the information being offered. IRS Criminal Investigation New York Field Office worked closely with the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of New York on this non-prosecution agreement.
