Two executives of Sun Deck Concrete Inc., in Riviera Beach, were sentenced on Friday for setting up shell companies to hire illegal aliens as laborers to avoid paying employment taxes, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office.
Company President John M. David and supervisor Juan A. Gonzalez pleaded guilty on June 16 before U.S. District Judge Kenneth A. Marra in West Palm Beach.
David was sentenced to a year and four months in prison and two years on probation while Gonzalez was sentenced to 10 months in prison with two years on probation.
The defendants also were ordered to pay $479,906 restitution, which David paid in full before sentencing, according to court records.
Prosecutors say that between 2005 and 2006, David and Gonzalez set up fake companies as subcontractors through which they hired more than 20 Mexican and Honduran workers who were living in Florida illegally.
To make the shell companies appear legitimate, other co-conspirators opened corporate bank accounts, obtained federal tax identification numbers and purchased fraudulent workers' compensation insurance policies for the companies, according to court documents.
"It's a very intricate, complex scheme. It's not an accident," said Maj. Geoffrey Branch, with the Florida Department of Financial Services, Division of Insurance Fraud.
"They have to incorporate, get an insurance policy, and find a check-cashing store to cash the checks," Branch said.
More than $2 million in cash wages was funneled through the shell companies to conceal the fact Sun Deck was employing illegal workers and to avoid the payment of employment taxes and workers' compensation premiums for these workers, according to court records.
"Due to the volume, a check cashing store would have to be in cahoots with this type of scheme," Branch said.
David would approve checks payable to the shell companies for the workers' wages, and approve additional money to cover kickbacks to the co-conspirators and supervisors and fees to the check-cashing store, authorities said.
As a result, David defrauded the Internal Revenue Service out of $316,254 in employment taxes and avoided the payment of $163,652 in workers' compensation premiums due to Bridgefield Employers Insurance Co., prosecutors said.
"[Setting up subcontractor shell companies] is the prevailing scheme to avoid the payment of workers' compensation," Branch said. "Especially in the construction industry."
More prosecutions are expected in this case.

"There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag, and this excludes the red flag, which symbolizes all wars against liberty and civilization, just as much as it excludes any foreign flag of a nation to which we are hostile...We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language...and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people." --Theodore Roosevelt
"This nation is in danger of becoming a Third World nightmare with all the corruption, disease, illiteracy, violence and balkanization known all over the world. We need a 10-year moratorium on all immigration to catch our collective breath and we need deportation of over 10 million illegal aliens in a slow and orderly fashion." --Ed Garrison
“The 1987 amnesty was a failure; rather than reducing illegal immigration, it led to an increase,” FAIR stated. “Any new amnesty measure will further weaken respect for our immigration laws. Therefore, all amnesty measures must be defeated.” --Frosty Wooldridge
