Malibu Resident Pleads Guilty to Grand Theft and Tax Charges
Court documents show that Mr. Duko was employed as a manager of a local sound studio from 1999 through 2006. During that time, he was said to have abused his position of trust by "embezzling over $230,000 from his employer." These documents go on to say that Duko "diverted payments made to his employer into his personal bank account," and that he "failed to claim any of the embezzled income on his state income tax returns for the same period." As the Franchise Tax Board has made clear in the past, all income is taxable, and that includes income which comes from illegal sources.
The FTB stated that the underreporting of income is part of the $6.5 billion tax gap which has been facing the state of California for some time now. The tax gap is defined as "the difference between the tax that is owed and the tax that is due."
The case against Mr. Duko was part of a joint investigation between the Los Angeles District Attorney's Office and the Franchise Tax Board. His sentence was handed down to him in Department 50 of the Clara Shortridge Foltz Criminal Justice Center, and the case was prosecuted by Los Angeles County Deputy District Attorney Serena Murillo.
Dale Duko also works as an actor in Los Angeles and has appeared in productions produced by the Sacred Fools Theater Company. According to his page on IMDB, his acting credits include a role as Reverend Paul in "The Popular Kids" episode of the CBS series "Criminal Minds." He also cast as an LA County Sheriff's Detective in the Gary Fleder-directed TV movie "Finnegan" which starred Teri Polo and Billy Zane.

I am an actor and writer, and they both serve to keep me sane in an increasingly insane world. I mostly write movie reviews, but sometimes I try to go outside of that to write something else. View profile
