Two Ex-Maple Leafs being investigated for tax fraud!

Darcy Tucker and Shayne Corson are brother-in-laws and apparently they are also 'shammers' as the Toronto Star is reporting  the ex-Maple Leafs are in hot water with the Canadian Revenue Agency over skirting to pay their fair share of taxes.

The players have both denied the allegations which stem from their foreign currency trading during their years playing for the Maple Leafs.

The report cites a day before a game on December 11, 2001, Tucker wired $32,000 to an account with a U.K brokerage and joined Corson in investing in the risky world of foreign currency trading. 

The investigation continues as the Maple Leafs can't be happy with news like this coming out considering they are still paying Tucker to be an Ambassador for the team.

During their shared years in blue and white, Tucker and Corson got into foreign currency trading. They individually reported millions in biz losses on their taxes in the early years.

But the Canada Revenue Agency alleges those losses weren’t real...

This alleged sham goes beyond the former hockey players. The CRA alleges more than 150 taxpayers have used the scheme, including a wealthy Burlington family who describe themselves as conservative investors. They reported total losses of roughly $215 million over seven years.
