Rochester, NY - Sentencing has been handed down for three Volusia County men in a federal case. The U.S. Attorney for the Western District of New York announced on Friday (July 26) that Kyle Haynes, Bryan Day and Jason Haynes are sentenced to serve 30 months, 27 months and six months in prison respectively. The three men are ordered to pay $9,475,000 in restitution to Xerox.
David Haynes was convicted of filing a false tax return and was sentenced to a three-year term of probation. He's ordered to pay $884,000 in restitution to Xerox. All four of the defendants are also ordered to pay approximately $25,000 in restitution to the Internal Revenue Service.
Prior to a plea deal made in November 2018, Day and the three Haynes family members were each arrested in 2015 on three counts of grand theft and racketeering based on this scheme.
U.S. Attorney James P. Kennedy, Jr. says Day and the younger Haynes set up a sham company called HDH Graphics to get the toner from the New York-based company after obtaining around 63 Xerox printers through RBM Imaging in Daytona Beach, an authorized Xerox product reseller. The four men allegedly pocketed the proceeds from an $11 million toner sale to someone in Miami. That money was shared with Robert Fisher, the owner of RBM Imaging.
False personal income tax returns were filed by the Haynes family members and Day for the years 2008 through 2013. Those returns failed to report net income earned by HDH Graphics earned from the fraudulent sale of the toner.
