By saying they were temps. He then had associates open temp staffing companies. My bet is that the staffing companies didn't have employees to temp out, so also paid no payroll taxes. Did those companies file for bankruptcy or simply shut down when they moved on to the next?

It sounds like these guys got off easy. 5 -7 years for stealing 15 million. I'd get a harsher sentence if I stole a car.
