With the recent filing of consignment fraud & tax evasion charges in federal court against a millionaire car broker from Marin County we thought it would be a good time to offer a dealer education workshop devoted to reminding all dealers of the importance of completing the consignment agreement and broker agreement completely & correctly.
Walter Dawydiak of San Francisco and his company Cars Dawydiak Inc have an impressive resume of selling consignments & brokering for over 40 years.
Walter Dawydiak is charged with falsifying invoices to those consigning high end collector cars, lowering the net take for the seller.
Walter Dawydiak is further charged tax evasion with paying his staff in cash to avoid the payment of taxes.
Walter Dawydiak is facing an ongoing investigation with the CDTFA to verify that his report of sales reported amount match the amounts collected from the consignment buyer.
Here is a local newspaper story about Walter’s consignment fraud & tax evasion troubles:
Dawydiak’s attorney, Ed Swanson, said in an email to that newspaper that he expects Dawydiak to plead guilty, and that he “promptly and completely accepted responsibility for his actions.”
“(Dawydiak) also implemented new processes at the company in September 2019 to ensure clients always receive a detailed breakdown on expenses and what they are owed on a sale,” Swanson said. “He is extremely remorseful, and has been working closely with the prosecutors and agents to repay clients who lost money because of his conduct as well as to make full payment to IRS for underreporting overtime payroll tax.”
