CLEVELAND — A Canton woman accused of running an illegal gambling operation pleaded guilty to conspiring to defraud the IRS, the U.S. Department of Justice announced Wednesday.
Stephanie Condric managed and later operated Gametastic from 2014 to 2018, according to court documents and statements made in court. The U.S. Department of Justice says the business was an illegal gambling ring.
Prosecutors said Condric "and her co-conspirators" did not report cash wages paid to Gametastic employees on employment tax returns, causing the business to underpay its taxes. Prosecutors said she also did not report her share of the business's profits on her 2016 and 2017 tax returns.
Condric faces a maximum of five years in prison and a period of supervised release in addition to restitution and monetary penalties. The Department of Justice did not announce her scheduled sentencing date.
According to the DOJ, several law enforcement agencies are continuing to investigate the case. Condric was one of 10 people indicted in connection to illegal gambling schemes in Canton last July.
