NEW YORK (AP) - A former KPMG LLP tax partner pleaded guilty Monday, saying he helped wealthy investors dodge millions of dollars in taxes with fraudulent documents, sham companies and phony tax shelters.
David Rivkin, 42, entered the plea to conspiracy and tax evasion charges in U.S. District Court in Manhattan, agreeing to cooperate in what the Department of Justice has called the largest criminal tax case ever.
He was among 19 defendants charged with conspiracy last year in a tax scheme that the government alleges helped affluent KPMG clients escape $2.5 billion in taxes.
