Three Men Accused of Elk Tag Fraud

Three men are facing serious federal charges for allegedly running a multi-year scheme to steal New Mexico elk tags and sell them to out-of-state hunters for cash and guiding services, all while hiding millions in illegal profits from the IRS. Using their outfitter business, they allegedly faked medical transfers and used fake paperwork to disguise their fraud, even resorting to prepaid debit cards and a public library computer to cover their tracks. The indictment accuses them of wire fraud, conspiracy, and violating the Lacey Act — a brazen attack on fairness for local hunters who follow the rules. The U.S. Attorney’s office is sending a clear message: game rigging won’t be tolerated. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
