Why is Bill Romanowski being sued for $15.33M?

This new problem refers to a tax evasion that dates back. Romanowski and his wife Julie are facing a lawsuit filed by the U.S. Department of Justice alleging that they owe over $15.33 million dollars in unpaid taxes.

The lawsuit claims that the couple failed to pay income taxes from 1998 to 2007. The Romanowskis founded Nurtition53 in 2006, but they allegedly used to cover personal expenses, per Nick Kosmider of The Athletic.

By using N53 to pay their personal living expenses and those of their adult children, the Romanowskis have improperly used N53 to thwart the IRS’s collection of the individual income tax assessments at issue in this case,” the DOJ claims in its lawsuit.
