WBFO News

A criminal investigation has resulted in a guilty plea in a tax fraud case. Special Agents from the IRS along with a variety of other law enforcement agencies identified Buffalo resident Kalah Bishop as heading a scheme that placed tax returns from nearly 50 clients onto debit cards that she and her associates used for themselves.

The 27-year-old Bishop is facing ten years in prison and a $250,000 fine.

She is also being ordered to pay nearly $500,000 in restitution. She will be sentenced in September.
