"Miller pleaded guilty in June to purposely hiding her income in financial disclosure statements filed with the bankruptcy court starting in 2012. People who file Chapter 11 must honestly disclose their assets so the creditors can fairly assess whether to approve any court-approved repayment plan."
"But Miller repeatedly hid her true income - as well as contracts for future income from her TV shows - until her channel-surfing bankruptcy judge saw her on TV and concluded Miller must be making far more than the $8,899 in monthly income she initially declared."
"Wahlquist testified Miller earned $8,000 to $25,000 per episode as her popularity exploded, and deposited money in nonapproved bank accounts to hide assets."
"Miller eventually coughed up $288,000 in TV income she’d received. Federal investigators later determined she had hidden nearly $550,000 more from personal appearances, dance sessions and merchandise sales."
"Miller made a major concession on an unrelated charge that she also pleaded guilty to in June, sneaking $120,000 in foreign currency into the country from Australia in 2014."
"Miller agreed to forfeit that money, which she previously sought to avoid. In return, prosecutors won’t ask the judge to enhance Miller’s sentence for using children to help in that scheme."
"Prosecutors can’t comment on that and haven’t named the children. They have said in court documents that Miller divvied up money and hid it in the luggage of others in her party to avoid a federal law requiring people to report bringing more than $10,000 in foreign currency into the country."
Scum.
