Hitman sentenced over attempted murder of IRS investigator

by Judith Tydd

06 Mar 2009

Randy Nowak has been sentenced to 30 years in prison after being convicted of attempting to murder an IRS employee.

The employee was investigating Nowak's individual and business tax liabilities, according to webcpa.com

The undercover agent, who called himself Reaper, posed as a member of the Outlaws motorcycle gang. The IRS investigation followed a tape recording of Nowak alleging that he had ‘hidden’ more than $3m over eight years.

Last July, Nowak met with the undercover agent in July 2008 to make a $10,000 down payment for the killing of the IRS employee. During the meeting, Nowak identified a picture of his intended victim and asked the undercover agent if he would burn the IRS office in Lakeland because Nowak wanted his tax problems to ‘go away’.
