PITTSBURGH — A Michigan man was sentenced in federal court Thursday for his role in the Ibis Tek fraud case.

Anthony A. Shaw, 55, of Rochester Hills, Mich., was sentenced to 46 months incarceration and a $100,000 fine on charges of taking illegal gratuities, income tax evasion and making false statements to federal law enforcement officers, according to a news release from the U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Pennsylvania.

Shaw was a deputy project manager responsible for directing development of and managing government contracts for combat vehicle systems such as U.S. Army Humvees at the U.S. Department of Army Tank-Automotive and Armaments Command (TACOM).

Because of his position, Shaw came to know Thomas and John Buckner, who were co-owners of Ibis Tek, a Butler-based defense contractor which specialized in the development of transparent armor and accessory products for tactical and military combat vehicles. Over time, Ibis Tek held several subcontracts and prime contracts for TACOM.

Following the 2008 housing market collapse, Shaw, who was heavily invested in real-estate, took $1,055,500 in illegal gratuities from the Buckners between 2008 through 2011

Shaw failed to pay income tax on that money and ran up a criminal tax liability of $325,800, according to the news release.

Authorities say he also lied about meeting with the Buckners.

Two other related guilty pleas also await sentencing, including Harry H. Kramer, 52, of Wexford, for his role as CFO of Ibis Tek in a $6,085,709 fraud scheme against TACOM, and filing false returns for Ibis Tek for 2009 and 2010; as well as David S. Buckner of Warren, Mich., for impeding the IRS by acting as a financial intermediary who received and then paid out money from Ibis Tek to Anthony Shaw, for the purpose of concealing that the monies were Shaw’s income.
