Miami, FL (JusticeNewsFlash.com)–The U.S. Attorney’s Office charged a Boca Raton man in a Miami federal court with hiding millions of dollars in assets from United States tax collectors in a UBS Swiss bank. The 55 year old Boca Raton man, Steven Michael Rubinstein, is the first U.S. Citizen charge criminally in the federal government’s nationwide probe of UBS, as reported by the Palm Beach Post.
The federal court judge ordered Rubinstein, a yacht company accountant, to be remanded to jail until a hearing next week.

He is charged with one count of filing a false tax return and the above fraudulent activities from 2001 to 2008.
