Westport Doctor Charged With Tax Evasion, Fraud
Westport resident Steven Herman, a plastic surgeon with offices in Norwalk and Manhattan, pleaded guilty Monday, before U.S. District Judge Janet C. Hall in Bridgeport, to charges of tax evasion, illegal structuring of financial transactions and health care fraud, according to Kevin J. O'Connor, U.S. Attorney for the District of Connecticut.
Between January 1998 and April 2003, Herman reportedly skimmed cash receipts and insurance checks from his two practices and willfully failed to report these amounts on his federal individual income tax returns. The skimmed amount totaled $883,700, according to the "stipulation of offense conduct." The amounts of unreported income increased each year: $76,630 in 1998; $87,574 in 1999; $160,031 in 2000; $248,898 in 2001 and $310,567 in 2002.
