Porn mogul sentenced to more than five years in prison

Lawyer says client will appeal

Friday, September 17, 2004

Six Austin-area adult video stores will be seized and sold by the federal government after a Texas man was sentenced Friday to more than five years in federal prison for mailing fraudulent tax returns and selling obscene videos.

John K. Coil, 62, of Highland Village, near Dallas, must surrender Dec. 1 to begin his 63-month sentence, Senior U.S. District Judge Harry Lee Hudspeth ruled. Coil, who pleaded guilty in June, was also ordered to pay a $5,000 fine.

"Today is a good day because a long-time merchant of hardcore, triple-X rated, sadistic pornography is on his way to federal prison," U.S. Attorney Johnny Sutton said.

As part of Coil's plea, he surrendered 45 Texas properties owned by various corporations and trusts to the government ? including the six in and around Austin, all named "Adult Video."

Those properties include houses, offices, at least two dozen adult video stores and vacant pieces of land. The video stores are in cities including Austin, San Antonio, College Station, El Paso and Houston. With the exception of the Houston-area stores, the pornographic books, movies and other novelties in those stores will be destroyed by the government. The Coils will keep the contents of the Houston-area stores under the deal.

Sutton said the stores in Austin and other cities will be auctioned and that the merchandise that was part of the investigation will be destroyed. Sutton said he did not know whether the Austin-area stores remained open Friday.

Coil's sentencing concludes a case that began in the mid-1990s when Austin police detectives noticed what federal prosecutors have described as "financial irregularities" in Coil's business operations. They passed the case to federal agents, whose investigation culminated in a 32-count indictment against Coil and six others last year.

Each of the defendants, several of whom faced up to 20 years in prison on racketeering charges, have pleaded guilty and have been sentenced. They included Coil's son, daughter and wife, whose penalties ranged from probation to year-long prison terms.

John Coil's lawyer, John Fahle of San Antonio, said his client will appeal.

I think tax evasion has been a crime under most Attorney General since long before the Bush Administration.

pay your taxes

[directfiesta]

Amazing how your right wing porn supplier don't get it.

Between 1990 and 2000, nothing happened. Case was shelved, tossed around, not important. A deal was in the works involving the payment of taxes owed, a fine for late filing and a penalty for tax evasion. Just like in most similar cases not involving porn....

But the arm of God is now represented in this administration, and now they close a full fledged business, put working people on the street, pay to jail people that didn't need to be supported by the state, and I could go on ...

You think this is a coincidence. After 10 years, it just happens NOW...

I again repeat: I HOPE THAT YOUR SORRY ASSES ALL GET KICKED LIKE THIS, BECAUSE THEY WILL FIND SOMETHING IN YOUR BOOKS THAT IS NOT KOSHER...

( Paypal payment, usage of Epassport credit card for personnal use and the easiest: 2257 ).

On the other hand, I will get much more business once you open gayjailsex.com ....

directfiesta, what I don't get is why you care. If the sky is truly falling as you like to constantly suggest, I would think you would want Bush in office as it would surely increase revenues for you

[Paul Markham]

The guy was selling porn and dodging his taxes, not clever in a country like the US. If he was doing it in a free and open country, that recognises freedom of speech and expression and an adults right to view what they want to he would of got away with it.

Living in the States you need to be very careful what you do.

Anyway four more years and us European pornographers can fill in the gaps Ashcro ft creates.

Al Capone went down for selling porn. His 2257's weren't in order. Ashcraft busting in with the Untouchables and Elliot Ness and them guys and they got him.
Sent him up the river to the big house.

So are you saying if this guy was selling cars he would of got five years in prison for dodging his taxes like her did?

Like I said if you sell porn in a the US you have to watch your back. This guy screwed up. If he had lived here he would not iof had a problem. But then we have real freedom of speeech here, not just freedom to say what is acceptable.

The case had nothing to do with selling porn. But did the sentence.

He would of been prosecuted anywhere and in any business for dodging taxes. But was his sentence in line with what other taxes dodgers recieved? Was the investigation and prosecution related more to what he sold than to the tax crime?

Sp please show us a similar case where a tax dodger got a five year sentence for committing the same crime.

Can't see how you know, as the article does not go into a lot of detail about the tax evasion.

What I love about Baddog is instead of answering the question posed he answers what he wants to answer then insults you.

Just in case you misread the original statement I will repeat it.

Yes people do go to prison for tax evasion, but do they go to prison for 5 years for the level of tax evasion committed in this case?

Pretty simple question but may be not simple enough for some.

[SleazeQueen]

prosecutors have described as "financial irregularities" in Coil's business operations.

And this is why you get an accountant and you run everything through them and make sure it's 100% on the level. Take all the deductions that Cheny's friends do, but all on the up and up.

That's how they got Capone. They can always get ya if you cheat on your taxes. Not worth a few bucks, or even few thousand bucks, to do time for that.

[GiantGnome]

Just to name a few...




In Sacramento, California, Lonnie D. Crockett was sentenced to 42 months in prison followed by 36 months probation and ordered to pay a fine of $67,500. Crockett pled guilty to defrauding the IRS in a nationwide tax evasion conspiracy that involved the concealment of income through a chain of domestic and foreign bank accounts and trust arrangements. Three doctors from northern California also pled guilty in connection with the scheme. Daniel Bullock, an orthopedic surgeon, Richard D. Pfeiffer, an orthodontist, and Richard Shearer, an ear, nose and throat specialist, were sentenced to prison for 18 months, 27 months and 24 months, respectively, and ordered to pay fines and back taxes.



In Greenville, North Carolina, Charles James Payton was sentenced to serve 78 months in prison followed by 3 years supervised release. In addition, Payton was ordered to pay restitution to the IRS in the amount of $87,073. Charles Payton was convicted on of seven counts of willfully aiding and assisting in the preparation of false income tax returns and one count of conspiracy.



In Reno, Nevada, Palle "Pono" Bognaes was sentenced to serve 80 months in prison and 3 years supervised release, and to pay $29,598 in restitution to the IRS for conspiring to defraud the United States, evading more than $2 million in federal taxes, and obstructing and impeding the IRS in the collection of those taxes. He also was ordered to pay $107,752 in restitution to a client from whom he took unauthorized withdrawals and to pay $4,861 for costs of his prosecution.

Thanks GiantGnome. Now all we have to do is find out what this guy actually swindled and we have a bench mark to work with.

Baddog, see what a guy with the right skills does. He resorts to finding out, not just name calling.

Trying to convince fools like you is like teaching pigs to swim. . . .it is pointless, and only irritates the pig

[cluck]

Shouldn't the real issue be that someone got punished by the law for selling hardcore pornography? Obscenity laws are scary.

[chodadog]

If you're in the business of selling hardcore porn, especially the more extreme stuff, then you'd better make sure everything else is squeaky clean. Because if they can't nail you for obscenity, then they'll make damn sure they fuck you for something else. Keep your books in order, don't evade tax, etc, and you'll be fine.

anybody selling hardcore porn videos needs to do it from the EU, preferably Holland

Why do you keep bringing up Martha Stewart for tax evasion. She is in jail for insider trading on the stock market. Not tax evasion.

At least one person is awake here ....

Nobody seems to understand that that case started in 1994/5 .
Now, for the bunch of uneducated trailer park dickheads, that is 416 weeks or 2920 days, till the year 2000, when this new right wing christian administration came to power.
What do you think took so long to investigate? The books, the real estate, the stores.. oh, maybe they watch all the videos...
That case, under Clinton, was shelved and negotiation were going on, like in all non-violent crime:

- restitution, fine, penalty

When Asshit got the job, the case was flagged because it is a PORN BUSINESS and prosecuted with everything they can find in the book.

the merchandise that was part of the investigation will be destroyed.

Halleluhia !!!! Our white christian god will be proud....

PS: watch out for your porn filled computers....




Anyway, Baddog is right : everything is fine and getting better... to the blind.

You're right, it was her buddy Sam Waksal, who was sentenced in June to 87 months in prison for tax evasion, and his role in the insider trading case

My bad

No she's not, stupid. She got busted for LYING about it. She got busted for lying to federal investigators. And she still is NOT in jail for it, yet.
