Former CFO of Soup Nazi Business Sentenced to 9 Months Imprisonment for Tax Evasion
Robert N. Bertrand, the former CFO of Soupman was sentenced to nine months in prison. Soupman licenses its name and recipes from Al Yeganeh. Yeganeh was the inspiration for the Soup Nazi character on the television series “Seinfeld.”
The IRS busted Bertrand last year. He initially pleaded not guilty. He later admitted to abusing his power as CFO of the company:
The Court also ordered the Soup Nazi CFO to pay $78,518.18 in restitution to the United States. Bertrand pleaded guilty in December 2017 for failure to pay Medicare, Social Security, and federal income taxes. Bertrand’s sentence also includes one year of supervised release.
Bertrand’s mismanagement also forced Soupman into Chapter 11 bankruptcy last year.
