The U.S. Attorney?s Office in Salt Lake City announced the arrest of Jeremy D. Johnson of St. George, Utah, by IRS agents.
A spokeswoman said Johnson was arrested at a Phoenix airport while en route to Costa Rica, where the government believes Johnson has business interests.
Johnson for years was known in Utah as a philanthropist who used his fleet of aircraft for rescue and humanitarian missions.
But last year he and his companies were sued by the Federal Trade Commission in Las Vegas in what the FTC called a nationwide $289 million Internet scam (up from $275 million alleged earlier) in which consumers were deceptively enrolled in programs to obtain government grants and for other services.
