Tax Evasion Case Involving Du Pont and Raskob
Washington reports the United States Board of Tax Appeals found that Pierre S. du Pont and John J. Raskob attempted to evade more than 1.8 million dollars of income taxes through paper transactions and securities. The board will determine the exact additional tax for 1929 and 1934 later, with estimates suggesting du Pont could owe about 8 million and Raskob around 1 million. The two figures previously traded securities to each other at loss, then repurchased them to reclaim original holdings, while claiming deductions for the losses. The board questioned whether the transactions were legitimate and deductible, or crafted to avoid tax liability.
