Guilty plea in $400k tax evasion case could bring five-year federal prison term

DALLAS — United States Attorney for the Northern District of Texas, Ryan Raybould, announced that Anderson Condoll, Jr., 44, from The Colony, Texas, pleaded guilty in court filings to one count of tax evasion on Aug. 10. Condoll, Jr. was indicted in April 2026 on five counts of tax evasion for years 2019-2023. He entered into a plea agreement on Monday to one count of tax evasion. “Tax fraud is not a victimless crime,” said U.S. Attorney Ryan Raybould. “Every dollar stolen from the Treasury is a dollar that cannot support the men and women who defend our country, care for our veterans or provide a lifeline to Americans who truly need one. This defendant admitted to stealing money from Americans, and we will seek a stiff prison sentence at his sentencing hearing for his crimes.” “American workers must file an accurate IRS Form W-4, so the correct taxes are withheld,” said Special Agent in Charge Christopher J. Altemus Jr. of IRS CI’s Texas Field Office. “When someone falsely claims exempt status to evade paying taxes, it’s a crime that shifts the burden to everyone else. The women and men of IRS-CI and our partners at the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Texas, will continue to aggressively pursue those who would attempt to defraud or defeat the United States tax system." In plea papers, Condoll, Jr. admitted that he owed $437,245 in federal income taxes spanning 2014-2025. Condoll, Jr. admitted that he would file Forms W-4 with his employers falsely claiming to be exempt from income taxes, causing his employers to not withhold income taxes from his wages. Condoll, Jr. faces up to five years in federal prison if convicted. His sentencing date has not been set. IRS Criminal Investigations conducted the investigation. Assistant U.S. Attorneys Ignacio Perez de la Cruz from the Fraud section and Katy Gardner from the Major Crimes section are prosecuting the case. ###
