Story summary
- The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s newly created Business Tax Fraud Unit filed its first case by charging comedian Carlos Mencia with twelve felony tax counts.
- Prosecutors allege Mencia failed to file returns from 2019 to 2024, leaving about $8.7 million unreported and creating over $300,000 in unpaid state taxes.
- Mencia’s bail of $250,000 reflects a potential sentence of more than ten years in state prison if convicted on all counts.
