– Attorney General Anthony G. Brown yesterday announced that Funso Posi Timothy, 60, of Lanham, Prince George’s County, Maryland, pleaded guilty to and was convicted of two counts of filing false tax returns.
Timothy was registered to prepare tax returns in Maryland and owned and operated Romaft Taxes, a tax preparation service, from his residence in Lanham. For tax year 2021, Timothy filed numerous tax returns with the Comptroller of Maryland for Maryland residents.
