PHOENIX – A Scottsdale tax fugitive, Kevin Scott Wynn, was sentenced to 46 months in prison this month after a jury found him guilty of tax evasion and failure to file tax returns in December 2019.

According to the Department of Justice, Wynn withdrew $1,500,000 in cash from his business bank account in thirteen separate transactions in the first several months of 2020, and subsequently cut his ankle monitor and fled Arizona before a scheduled sentencing hearing. He was apprehended by Mexican law enforcement authorities in Mexico City in August and deported back to the United States.

Wynn, age 59, was also fined $7,500. Wynn’s sentence included an upward adjustment for obstruction of justice.

Upon release from prison, Wynn will be placed on supervised release for three years. As a condition of supervision, he will be required to pay more than $700,000 in back taxes as restitution to the Internal Revenue Service.
