(KANSAS CITY, Kan.) — The U.S. Attorney's Office is looking for people who fell victim to Topeka-based Renaissance, The Tax People.
The founder of Renaissance, Michael Cooper, was sentenced in April to 20 years in federal prison.
Officials say he was convicted of mail fraud, wire fraud, money laundering and conspiracy.
The sentence includes restitution of $10 million and a forfeiture money judgement of $75 million.
The U.S. Attorney's Office says Cooper conspired to defraud his clients by "marketing a program to sell individuals tax deductions through false or misleading representations."
Kansas officials want to speak with anyone who believes they were defrauded by Cooper.
The U.S. Attorney's website will help victims get the process started. Potential victims can also call 316-269-6481.
