Businessman Douglas Larson sentenced to 24 months for dodging $1M in employment taxes.

Douglas Larson, a 72-year-old businessman from Appleton, was sentenced to 24 months in federal prison for failing to pay over $1 million in employment taxes owed by his shipping container construction businesses. Larson spent the funds on personal luxuries instead, over nearly 14 years. With a history of fraud convictions since the 1970s, Larson's failing health prevented a longer sentence.
