Former chief tax man guilty of tax evasion
Joseph D. Nunan Jr., once the nation's top tax collector, was found guilty by a Brooklyn federal court jury of five counts of income tax evasion for 1946 to 1950. He faces up to 25 years and a $50,000 fine, with sentencing set for July 22. The case hinged on underreported income and taxes owed, while his defense argued inheritance exempted the funds from taxation.
