Judge Curbs Tax Shelter Promoter
A scheme marketed by Oryan Management allegedly cost the Treasury $99 million.

May 8, 2004
A federal judge has barred an Ontario firm and four individuals from preparing tax returns after they engaged in a scheme to sell bogus tax shelters, the Justice Department said Friday.
The scam falsely promised business owners a way to get tax benefits by modifying company websites to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Justice Department said.
The shelter scheme was organized by a Las Vegas telemarketing firm called National Audit Defense Network, according to a suit filed by the Justice Department last month. Officials blame the scheme for tax revenue losses of $324 million.
The Ontario company, Oryan Management & Financial Services, and the four individuals were accused of promoting the scheme, accounting for $99 million of the losses to the Treasury.
Under the court order handed down last week, Oryan and Daniel W. Porter of Chino, Robert Goetsch of Hayward, Michelle M. Hernandez of Upland and Joseph Prokop of Mt. Baldy must cease tax preparation and cooperate with the Justice Department, including providing names and Social Security numbers for their clients.
Their attorneys did not return phone calls Friday.
According to the Justice Department suit, National Audit Defense Network charged customers $2,495 in cash, plus a $7,980 "promissory note" $10,475 total to make bogus website modifications that it said would enable them to claim about $10,500 in tax credits and deductions.
The government alleges that the promissory note was a sham aimed at boosting the paper cost high enough to get the full benefit of the tax breaks.
The company allegedly told customers that they could use the payments to claim a $5,000 ADA income tax credit and a $5,475 business tax deductio
A number of tax returns have been completed and many are in the process of completion. The estate will not be releasing those tax returns in the immediate future. Negotiations are ongoing to provide a follow-up entity to complete those tax returns. Please check back regularly for a status on the return of those tax returns.
No support is currently available for audit defense. You are advised to contact a tax attorney to assist you in an ongoing audit.
Please do not contact the Bankruptcy Court, the Office of the United States Trustee, the Clerk's office or the Trustee regarding tax returns or audits.

Maybe our refund is with the Bankruptcy Court in Las Vegas
The only way we MIGHT get our money back is through the bankruptcy court.
Now that NADN is in chapter 7 of bankruptcy this is the only help we might get.
If you filed a complaint with the Attorney General's Office in Las Vegas they should
send you a Proof of Claim form to fill out.

They are having a meeting of the creditors, that would be me and you and anyone else who has been ripped off by nadn, on July 8th 2004. Call them if you haven't already.
Hope this helps you.
Now that they have filed chapter 7 maybe we will be freed from the promissory note that is a bogus note anyway.

Audit??
Who could be audited? Any one who ever used NADN to prepare their taxes? Or just the people who bought the Mall for All? I used NADN for a couple of years to prepare my taxes but never bought any of the crap they were trying to sell me. The last year I used their services was in 2002. Am I in any danger of being audited?

Response to Sandra
Sandra it's our understanding that "only those who had their Taxes Prepared and Submitted by NADN" have need to worry. We let them prepare our 203 Tax Return, however we got word of what was going on and had a CPA redo and submitt our 2003 Tax Return. IRS, potentialy, could "red flag" all returns done by NADN because of their ruling against the deductions and credits that NADN was falsely using. Also, according to material we've read, IRS requested NADN to provide them with names and addresses of all clients that NADN had represented.
Suggestion: Any mall owner or tax prep user of NADN, that allowed NADN to prepare and "file" should contact IRS and advise that we were duped into believing that what they were dooing was legal.

This is the individual you need to focus upon. Is it strange that after the FTC raid in Feb. of 2002, the CEO, Robert Bennington is ousted and the GM Alan Rodrigues remains? Robert was a good hearted person that contracted with unscrupulous individuals that led to his downfall. I do not think that he did this on purpose. I know him well enough to say he walked the line, but not at the expense of his children, life, and friends.

Robert Bennington Found Shot to Death
#6UPDATE Employee
Sat, June 26, 2004
I'm an ex-employee of NADN. Seven days ago Benningtons car and body was found in the desert with one bullet wound to the head. Ruled as suicide. However, the funny part is that I had talked to him a few days prior and he was up in high spirits. The other side is that the local news made no mention of it nor did it appear in obituary for the funeral last week. West Coolige President removed $465,000 from the bank account and the employees were screwed as well. He can not be found. As you know, a corporation is separate from an individual. So you can't go after the personal assets of the person UNLESS FRAUD was committed. The DOJ here as well as the courts ceased to prosecute the owners and the case is no longer. The Federal Court here on Las Vegas Blvd needs to prove fraud was committed. Then and only then can make way for class action. Even the TV, and News papers went hush hush about this. Guess who's putting the gag on them? Bennington old phone number is now being answered by a scared partner by the name of Anthony/Tony 702-813-2443. I'll keep you posted on the inside scoop. Old associates are hiding these days...home and cell phone numbers changed, extended business trips to South America for one, yada yada..
