Walter Hass, a shipping company owner in New Jersey, was sentenced to four years in prison for tax evasion and subsequently ordered to pay over $3.5 million in restitution. He failed to pay the New York Yankees more than $626,000 for an eight-year contract involving eight suite seats, food, and beverage. Hass attempted to deceive the court with a false kidney cancer diagnosis to avoid his guilty plea but was caught by law enforcement. His actions included significant unpaid payroll taxes and luxury spending during that period.
"Hass did not have cancer and attempted to travel throughout the United States and around the world during this time. Only when law enforcement discovered his deception did he ultimately admit to his conduct."
"The Bronx Bombers brought the Bergen County man to Manhattan Federal Court in 2020, claiming he signed an eight-year deal for eight seats in a suite that included food and beverages."
