A core member of an investment group who was found guilty of soliciting investments without being registered with the government on the grounds that ``you can get a large amount of dividends if you invest in crypto assets.'' Interviews with people involved revealed that the Tokyo Regional Taxation Bureau had seized approximately 200 million yen, including cash that had been seized by the Metropolitan Police Department during the investigation stage.
Most of the income is believed to come from the activities of the investment group, and if the Tokyo Regional Taxation Bureau can confirm the existence of assets for the remaining 2 billion yen including additional taxes, it is expected that procedures such as seizure will be carried out. .
The former defendant in his 50s, who was a core member of an investment group called "Jubilee Ace", was seized cash by the Tokyo Regional Taxation Bureau.
This group is said to have collected about 65 billion yen from investors nationwide, claiming that ``you can get a large amount of dividends if you invest in crypto assets.'' He was arrested and indicted, and a conviction with a suspended sentence was finalized last year.
The former defendant failed to pay 2.4 billion yen in income tax due by the deadline for the three years until his death, and the Tokyo Regional Taxation Bureau seized approximately 200 million yen in cash and other items that the Metropolitan Police Department had seized from related parties during the investigation stage. We learned this through interviews with stakeholders.
The former defendant had not declared his income for the two years until 2020, but in March last year, after the Metropolitan Police Department launched an investigation, he reported that he had income of more than 5 billion yen in the three years until his father. That's it.
Most of his income is believed to have been received in the form of crypto assets from the activities of investment groups.
In addition, the former defendant was pointed out to have failed to declare 110 million yen, such as compensation for an investment seminar held online, and was subject to additional taxation of approximately 61 million yen, including additional tax for underreporting.
The Tokyo Regional Taxation Bureau will continue to investigate the status of assets, and if the existence of assets can be confirmed for the remaining 2 billion yen including additional tax, it is expected that procedures such as seizure will be carried out.
An official of the former defendant said, "I cannot comment" on NHK's interview about the delinquency of income tax and omission of declaration.
