Excerpt from government website:
'John C_Kim, founder and owner of the schools, was convicted at trial. Kim, 63, born in Korea and a former resident of Naperville, Illinois, Houston, Texas, and most recently LaJolla, California, was portrayed at trial as the instigator and mastermind of the tax fraud conspiracy. Witnesses testified that Kim came to the United States with the goal of making himself one of the world’s richest men and that he justified his failure to pay appropriate taxes by stating that the American government routinely wasted tax revenues, citing as examples the government’s funding of social programs and foreign aid to countries such as South Korea, which were misused.'
'John C_Kim was sentenced in July 1997 to 60 months in prison and fined $17,500 for violation of Title 18 USC §371.'
