He also filed phony W-2 forms in 2008, earning fraudulent returns.

More than $2 million was owed — the largest unpaid wages case in Utah’s history. At the time, Sensory Sweep vice-president Chris Rushton told Kotaku, “We dispute some of the factual claims listed on-line regarding our business situation. We are working out an agreement with the Department of Labor.

He must perform 200 hours of community service. According to the Utah Attorney General, failure to do so will mean a further 20 years in prison. My Japanese Coach?
