Richmond Developer and Long Time Virginia Democrat Donor Charged With $2 Million In Tax Fraud

The title really does say it all.

Richmond residents may recall the case of Justin French, a local developer who recently was sentenced to 16 years in federal prison for lying about redevelopment expenses to inflate his tax credits.

Now, a partner of French’s, Billy G. Jefferson, Jr., has been charged for similar abuses:

Billy G. Jefferson Jr., head of River City Real Estate, was charged Thursday with eight felony counts of forging and uttering public records by the Virginia State Police Bureau of Criminal Investigation.

“The charges stem from the submission of false documents to the Virginia Department of Historic Resources,” according to a statement released Thursday by the State Police. “The submission of the false documents has resulted in over two million dollars in tax fraud to the Commonwealth of Virginia.”

The charges were related to four of Jefferson’s real estate projects that were certified for state tax credits in 2012, the DHR said in a statement Thursday.

William G. “Billy” Jefferson Jr. is a long time Democratic donor, contributing over $200,000 to Democratic candidates throughout Virginia over the last twelve years, including nearly $100,000 to Tim Kaine’s run for Governor and an additional $5,000 to Kaine’s senate run last year:

Jefferson has also contributed to $10,000 to Brian Moran’s 2009 bid, and $5,000 to Virginia Democratic Senate Caucus Chair Don McEachin’s unopposed 2011 Senate run.

Now, we all know that if Jefferson were a donor to Republicans, Sen. McEachin, Democratic Party of Virginia, Terry McAuliffe and others would be tripping over themselves to demand Republican candidates return every dime and denounce Jefferson and his crimes of defrauding not just the Commonwealth of Virginia but every tax payer in the state. AG candidate Mark Herring might even go so far as to ask for the Justice Department to open up an investigation. Heck, the whole thing might make front pages in Virginia media.

That last bit might still happen.
