Great White Construction, Florida Roofing Experts, 5 Star Roofing Services Complaints

Travis and Tripp Slaughter, operators of a Jacksonville roofing business, pleaded guilty to payroll tax and workers' compensation fraud. They underreported payroll to avoid paying taxes and also underreported their personal income. Travis Slaughter will forfeit $2.78 million and pay over $9 million in restitution, while Tripp Slaughter will forfeit $416,800 and pay over $600,000 in restitution. The fraud spanned several years and involved multiple business names. The case was investigated by several agencies, including the IRS and Homeland Security Investigations. This demonstrates a significant failure of business ethics and a blatant disregard for tax laws, resulting in substantial financial losses for the government and unfair competition for legitimate businesses.
