A federal judge in Boston has sentenced a Natick roofer to one year in federal prison after he pleaded guilty to tax evasion.
U.S. District Court Judge Brian E. Murphy on Tuesday, Aug. 12, also sentenced Jake Miller, 42, to one year of supervised release. Murphy also ordered Miller to pay $449,329 in restitution.
Miller pleaded guilty in February to one count of tax evasion.
According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office, Miller owned Kostas Roofing, which he ran under an alias of Paul Kostas.
From 2013 to 2021, Miller deposited money earned from his roofing business into a personal bank account rather than a business account. He did not file income taxes during those years, despite receiving at least $1.6 million.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office determined Miller should have paid nearly $450,000 in taxes as a result of that unreported income.
