A federal judge handed down prison sentences to members of a family on Thursday for their parts in a multimillion-dollar tax refund scheme that siphoned more than $1.7 million out of the IRS, the Justice Department said in a statement.
David Hunt of Arlington, Texas, received 92 months in federal prison. His son, Baylon Hunt, also from Arlington, was sentenced to 38 months. Baylon’s half-brother, Corey Burt, formerly of Long Beach, Mississippi, received the longest term at 94 months.
