Fraud Friday: Software and dementia


In 2020, Robert Brockman was charged with tax evasion, wire fraud, money laundering and other crimes as part of a nearly 20-year scheme to conceal billions in income from the IRS and defraud investors in software company Reynolds & Reynolds, of which he was the CEO. In December 2020, Brockman’s attorneys announced that despite the fact that he was running a multi-billion dollar software company up until November 2020, he was suffering from extreme dementia which prevents him from standing trial. Most recently, he has been accused of continuing to hide assets offshore and transferring property to family members in an attempt to avoid paying his $1.4 billion tax bill.
