Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit May 26, 1998, 97-2614, 97-2676 (United States v. Joseph C. Minneman and Clarence G. Punke)

TERENCE T. EVANS, Circuit Judge.

This is a case about a businessman, Clarence Punke, who conspired with his attorney, Joseph Minneman, to hide over $700,000 from the IRS. Punke’s business is the inspection, testing, servicing, and repair of pressurized vehicles and tanks. An unusual business, perhaps, but apparently a lucrative one — especially if you pay no taxes.
