Another Michigan Alum Gone Bad

Robert Traylor, 29, a former NBA basketball player, pleaded guilty to aiding and assisting in the preparation of a false tax return, federal law enforcement officials announced today.
According to court records, Traylor's name was used to make it appear that he had purchased two rental properties in Detroit, Michigan, when, in fact, the purchases had been funded and the properties owned by Quasand Lewis. Lewis has recently been sentenced in federal court on charges of narcotics trafficking and money laundering. In his plea today, Traylor admitted the properties for which he claimed deductions where titled in his name to conceal Quasand Lewis' ownership of them from law enforcement. Traylor also admitted as part of his plea that on his 2004 federal income tax return, he claimed a loss of over $205,000 from the rental properties, which he knew to be false.
