A settlement has been reached to resolve False Claims Act allegations against real estate developer Asher Roshanzamir.
The whistleblowers' share of the settlement will be $200,000.
The allegations arose from a lawsuit, claiming real estate developer Asher Roshanzamir wrongfully deferred payment of New York State and local income taxes by disguising withdraws of approximately $3.5 million from the like-kind exchange and by disguising approximately $5 million in equity contributions as loans.
“There has to be one set of rules for everyone, no matter how rich or how powerful, and that includes big developers paying their fair share of taxes,” said Attorney General Eric Schneiderman.
The allegations were brought forward when a whistleblower became aware of Asher Roshanzamir’s actions and filed a complaint in state Supreme Court in Manhattan.
