Swindler must pay income taxes not embezzler
The U S Fifth Circuit ruled that a swindler owes income tax on the proceeds of the scheme while an embezzler does not. James A Akers of Bexar County and his wife sought tax refunds on 272200 collected from Dora Roberts a wealthy 84 year old widow. The court said title passes to the swindler in a swindle so taxes apply, but not in embezzlement. Akers remains liable for taxes after conviction. the court noted immunity from suit due to a Texas statute of limitations. The swindle occurred between 1932 and 1936 involving consenérate participants.
