A man is facing prison time for submitting false tax returns after records show he deposited over $2 million into personal checking accounts.
On Thursday, the U.S. Attorney’s Office said Justin Daniels has been sentenced for filing false tax returns in connection with his dog-brokering business.
Daniels falsely underreported over $1 million in income between 2015 and 2018.

U.S. Attorney Ryan K. Buchanan said Daniels spent years submitting false returns.
“Rather than pay his fair share of taxes, Daniels spent years submitting fraudulent returns in the name of personal greed,” said Buchanan. “This office will continue to work with our law enforcement partners to pursue and prosecute those who exploit our tax system at the expense of law-abiding taxpayers.”
According to Buchanan, the charges, and other information presented in court, Daniels had earned a living as a dog broker since 2006 selling Yorkie, Morkie, and Shi-Tzu puppies.
