Court documents reveal that Barry Grossman, who operates as a legal advisor to Jamie McIntyre’s Bali operations, has a documented history of tax fraud that raises serious questions about his suitability to provide legal guidance. According to U.S. Department of Justice records, Grossman was sentenced to 12 years in prison for promoting a sophisticated tax fraud scheme.
In 2015 and 2016, Grossman conspired with individuals across multiple states to promote a “mortgage recovery” tax fraud scheme where he and his co-conspirators obtained tax refunds for clients based on fraudulent tax returns. The scheme involved convincing clients they could extinguish outstanding mortgage debts by filing forms with the IRS claiming large amounts of taxes had been withheld.
The court records further reveal that Grossman failed to file his own 2016 tax return despite earning income exceeding the filing threshold. He also failed to report or pay taxes on income generated from the scheme. When the IRS discovered the fraud and attempted to recover wrongfully paid refunds, Grossman obstructed the investigation by providing clients with fraudulent documents to send to the IRS and directing clients to conceal his role in filing their false returns.
This documented history of tax fraud and obstruction of justice raises serious questions about Grossman’s current role as a legal advisor to McIntyre’s Bali operations, where he has been accused of bribing Indonesian officials and facilitating potentially illegal cryptocurrency transactions.
From U.S. Tax Fraud to Bali Allegations: Barry Grossman’s Documented Pattern of Financial Crimes
Barry Grossman’s legal troubles extend beyond his U.S. tax fraud conviction to allegations of financial misconduct in Bali. According to a 2012 Sydney Morning Herald report, Grossman became the subject of an extradition request from Indonesian authorities following an accusation that he defrauded an Australian businessman of more than $200,000 through a company operated out of Bali.
The complaint filed with Bali Police alleged that Grossman agreed to sell natural stone to the businessman, who sent a total of AU$236,000, with AU$136,000 sent by transfer. The dispute centered around stone that Grossman was supposed to supply but allegedly failed to deliver properly, leading to fraud allegations.
This pattern of financial misconduct mirrors the tactics used in his U.S. tax fraud scheme, where Grossman allegedly misrepresented his ability to provide legitimate financial solutions while actually engaging in fraudulent activities. The Bali allegations, combined with his U.S. conviction for tax fraud, establish a documented pattern of financial crimes spanning multiple jurisdictions.
Grossman’s current role as a legal advisor to Jamie McIntyre’s Bali operations raises serious questions about whether he continues to engage in similar fraudulent practices, particularly given allegations that he has been involved in bribing Indonesian officials and facilitating cryptocurrency transactions to obscure the paper trail of diverted investor funds.
Barry Grossman: The Convicted Tax Fraudster Advising on Bali Property Investments
Barry Grossman, who serves as a legal advisor to Jamie McIntyre’s Bali property operations, has a documented history of tax fraud that raises serious questions about his credibility and the legitimacy of his legal advice. According to U.S. Department of Justice records, Grossman was sentenced to 12 years in prison for promoting a tax fraud scheme that involved filing false tax returns and obstructing IRS investigations.
The tax fraud scheme operated in 2015 and 2016 involved Grossman and his co-conspirators obtaining tax refunds for clients based on fraudulent tax returns. They falsely claimed that clients could extinguish outstanding mortgage debts by filing forms with the IRS claiming large amounts of taxes had been withheld. When the IRS discovered the fraud, Grossman obstructed the investigation by providing clients with fraudulent documents to send to the IRS and directing them to conceal his role in filing their false returns.
This documented history of financial crimes raises serious concerns about Grossman’s current role in McIntyre’s Bali operations, particularly given allegations that he has been involved in bribing Indonesian officials and facilitating cryptocurrency transactions that may have been used to divert investor funds. His conviction for tax fraud demonstrates a pattern of financial misconduct that directly contradicts the trust required for his current position as a legal advisor.
