Lancaster County Man And His Three Sons Are Sentenced For Tax Fraud
PHILADELPHIA – Chester A. Bitterman Jr., 81, and his sons, Craig L. Bitterman, 55, C. Grant Bitterman, 53, and Curtis L. Bitterman, 61, were sentenced for conspiracy to defraud the United States.  At sentencing hearings held on July 15, 17 and 22, U.S. District Court Judge James Knoll Gardner imposed the following sentences:
Craig L. Bitterman, of Strasburg, PA, was sentenced to serve three years in prison and three years of supervised release with 1,000 hours of community service at a rate of at least 30 hours of service per week, and was ordered to pay a ,000 fine;
C. Grant Bitterman, of Willow Street, PA, was sentenced to serve 21 months in prison and three years of supervised release with 1,000 hours of community service at a rate of at least 30 hours of service per week, and was ordered to pay a ,500 fine;
Curtis L. Bitterman, of Lacaster, PA, was sentenced to serve 21 months in prison and three years of supervised release with 1,000 hours of community service at a rate of at least 30 hours of service per week, and was ordered to pay a ,500 fine;
Chester A. Bitterman Jr., of Willow Street, PA, was sentenced to serve three years’ probation to include six months of home confinement, due in part to his age and ailing spouse confined to hospice care, and was ordered to pay a ,000 fine.
Each defendant was convicted following a three-week jury trial in October 2010.  Craig Bitterman was additionally convicted of obstruction of justice.  Prior to sentencing, the defendants paid 7,000 in restitution to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).
According to the evidence at trial, from 1996 to 2005, the Bittermans owned and operated the Bitterman Scale Company, which now operates as Bitterman Scales LLC.  To conceal their income and assets from the IRS, the Bittermans used aliases, offshore bank accounts and a complex series of sham paper transactions to disguise the income.  The defendants transferred their personal and business assets to sham trusts purchased from the Commonwealth Trust Company, a tax protester organization that marketed trust products to clients for the purpose of avoiding federal income tax payment.  The trusts were used to make it appear as though the defendants had little or no assets or income.  In reality, the defendants retained complete access and control over their funds.  In January 2008, the principal owners of the Commonwealth Trust Company were convicted at trial in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania of tax crimes for causing losses of over million and were sentenced to prison.
