The $21M Tax Dodger Who Looks Like a Regular Guy | Portland News

from Portland News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

A 32-year-old computer repair shop owner in Salem, Edwin Cordova, owes Oregon over $21 million in unpaid taxes — a staggering sum for someone whose life looks perfectly ordinary. While the state publicly shames big tax dodgers like hotel and cannabis moguls, Cordova stands out as a quiet, middle-class guy with no flashy backstory or explanation for his alleged $100 million in annual income. His former boss praised his sales skills, but even he can’t fathom how the small business could generate such wealth. Neighbors and colleagues are equally baffled — describing him as kind and unassuming. As Oregon’s public shaming list boosts collections, the real mystery remains: where did all that money come from?
