STATEMENT OF PROBABLE CAUSE
The Complainant states that the following facts establish probable cause:
I, Jeff Slater, am a manager and supervisor for the Minnesota Department of Revenue. My duties include
responsibility for the Criminal Investigation Division (CID) of the Minnesota Department of Revenue
(MNDOR). MNDOR/CID is responsible for criminal investigations into alleged violations of the tax laws of
the State of Minnesota. In January 2012, the Office of the Washington County Attorney in Stillwater,
Minnesota sought the assistance of MNDOR/CID for possible felony tax violations committed by David
Webster Eckberg, the Defendant herein by and through corporate entities of which he was the principal.
Those corporate entities included the Lumberjack Days Festival Association (LDFA) and St. Croix Events,
Inc. (SCE). Possible tax violations had come to light as a result of an investigation by the Stillwater Police
Department and the Washington County Sheriff's Office into events and activities of the Defendant
surrounding the operation by the Defendant of a large community festival in Stillwater, Minnesota known as
Lumberjack Days that was operated by and with these business entities run by the Defendant. As part of
that investigation the Washington County Attorney's Office also retained the service of a private forensic
accounting entity. The MNDOR case was assigned to Investigator Michael Morehead of CID. Morehead
conducted an extensive investigation of many aspects of the operation of the Lumberjack Days activities
by the Defendant. Morehead put several aspects of the criminal revenue investigation on hiatus
subsequent to the Defendant being criminally charged with multiple felony counts in Washington County
District Court. Upon conclusion of that prosecution with the Defendant's conviction for felony issuance of
worthless checks Morehead resumed the investigation. I have reviewed the files, records and research of the investigation conducted by Agent Morehead. Based
upon the investigation of Morehead and the files and records referenced in this Complaint, I believe the
following information to be true and correct. TRUST TAXES GENERALLY Sales Tax, Alcohol Tax and Non-Resident Entertainment (NRE) Taxes are trust taxes. Any entity that has
sales or activities subject to trust taxes must register with the Minnesota Department of Revenue. MNDOR
assigns a business ID number and sets up filing and remitting periods. Both the business and business
owners are responsible for meeting all filing and remittance obligations. MNDOR effectively partners with a
business and "trusts" the business to collect taxes and turn them over to MNDOR. The tax arises the
moment a taxable sale is made or a transaction occurs and immediately becomes the property of the
Minnesota Department of Revenue. The taxes are to be set aside and held in trust by the vendor until
remitted to MNDOR. For NRE Taxes the tax is generally withheld from the advance payment made to the
entertainer by the promoter. Most entertainment contracts list the NRE Tax as withheld causing the NRE tax
to come into existence the moment the contract payment is made. Trust tax money belongs to the State of
Minnesota the moment it comes into existence. The failure to remit a trust tax is akin to felony theft of
government funds. Willful failure to remit trust taxes is a felony violation of Minn. Stat. 289A.63(l)(b). LDFA was a 501(c)(4) non-profit entity that conducted activities subject to Minnesota Sales Tax, Alcohol
Tax, and NRE Tax. It had a legal duty to register with MNDOR and comply with all MNDOR requirements
including filing and remitting requirements. LDFA never registered with MNDOR. It contracted with SCE as
its agent or otherwise simply allowed SCE to handle its affairs. Delegation of duties to SCE did not relieve
LDFA and its officers from liability for taxes. SCE, a professional event management business, is
registered with MNDOR for a variety of taxes including Sales Tax. It took on LDFA's tax filing duties as
evidenced by its filing of LDFA's Federal Form 990's and multiple requests for legal tax advice regarding
SCE's need to collect and remit Sales Tax for LDFA events. LDFA, SCE, and their representative the
Defendant were required to remit all taxes when due. Both organizations and the Defendant failed to meet
3
this obligation. SALES AND ALCOHOL TAX INVESTIGATION MNDOR/CID has found through experience large festivals operated by promoters are rarely exempt from
Sales and Alcohol Taxes. While reviewing items seized from the Defendant's home with a search warrant
Morehead noted a 1999 letter to Defendant from his attorney Cass Weil. A copy of that letter was sent to
the Defendant with a request he waive attorney/client privilege so Morehead could interview his attorney.
The waiver was signed by the Defendant. This led to an interview of the attorneys by Morehead. Weil was given a copy of his 1999 letter regarding Sales Tax. Weil strongly denied his letter was a legal
opinion that LDFA was not subject to Sales Tax. He stated he was never given enough information about
the operation of LDFA to render a legal opinion. He stated the letter did not state Lumberjack Days Festival
was exempt from Minnesota Sales Tax. When he was asked for a new Sales Tax opinion in 2011 he
referred the request to Yuri Berndt, a tax expert attorney. Yuri Berndt was shown by Morehead his 2011 letter regarding Sales Tax for LDFA. He stated he was never
asked for a full legal opinion as to the Sales Tax liability of LDFA in 2011. He indicated he was never given
enough information to render a legal analysis of LDFA's liability for Sales Tax. Neither Mr. Berndt nor Mr.
Weil knew the Defendant was filing Federal Form 990's listing LDFA as a 501(c)(4) non-profit rather than
as 501(c)(3) non-profit. Morehead gave Berndt some facts about the operation of Lumberjack Days
Festival and its relationship with St. Croix Events, Inc. Based on that information Berndt stated Lumberjack
Days Festival Association would be subject to Sales Tax. Sales Tax Audit Activity DOR employee Demko conducted a Sales Tax audit of St. Croix Events, Inc. for tax years 2008 through
2010 starting in February 2011. She was interviewed as part of the investigation. She interviewed the
Defendant and corresponded with him via phone, mail and e-mails from February 2011 until the audit
closed on 10-24-2011. Demko was told by or led to believe by comments made by the Defendant any
Sales Taxes for events managed by St. Croix Events, Inc. were the responsibility of vendors at the events
or customers of St. Croix Events, Inc. The Defendant specifically told her that there were no admission
charges for LDFA. Her notes indicate she was led to believe Lumberjack Days Festival Association was a
501(c)(3) non-profit. During her audit she raised issues about the difference between 2009 deposits and
revenues. 2009 total revenues were at least $200,000 lower than total deposits. The Defendant suggested
short term loans from credit cards might explain the difference. She concluded her audit finding $899.48 in
taxes along with interest and other charges for a total of $1,114.57. This amount was assessed to St. Croix
Events, Inc. on 10-14-2011. Based on the Defendant's statements she never looked at Sales Taxes for
beverage sales or admissions. The Defendant wrote a letter to MNDOR seeking an abatement of
penalties. He also stated he now fully understood his tax obligations and would comply with them in the
future. His request for penalty abatement was granted. The debt from the Demko Sales Tax audit remains
outstanding. Demko was contacted shortly after the CID investigation started. She was surprised to learn
LDFA charged admission to some of its events, sold beer and pop, that it relied upon St. Croix Events, Inc.
to handle all of its tax matters and it was not a 501(c)(3). Sales Tax Analysis and Conclusions Both the 1999 and the 2011 legal opinion letter discuss aspects of Minnesota Statute 297A. The statute
was rewritten after 1999 and the pertinent references made in the 1999 letter were recodified under
297A(14). The basic requirements remained the same. 297A(14) (a) (1-2) requires a non-profit keep its own books and use all net proceeds for charitable,
religious or educational purposes. That later part of the statute describes a 501(c)(3) non-profit. LDFA was
a 501(c)(4) non-profit and had no restrictions on funding only charitable, religious or educational entities.
LDFA was created primarily by Stillwater business people for the purpose of holding a festival to bring
people and money to Stillwater. 297A(14)(b)(2) states all profits must be used exclusively for charitable, religious, or educational purposes.
4
LDFA board members described the LDFA/SCE contract as a risk and reward contract. SCE took in
whatever profits could be made from the event. There is no record of any money ever going to any
charitable, religious or educational entity or ever being intended to go to such entities. 297A(14)(b)(3) requires separate accounting records. No such records for LDFA have been found to exist.
The various records discovered to date are so comingled with other records as to make a realistic
accounting of any entity nearly impossible. 297A(14)(b)(7) makes LDFA ineligible for Sales Tax exemption since it entered into a risk and reward
contract with SCE and its annual benefits were less than the taxes that would have been generated. 297A(14)(c) excludes non-profits that share net earnings with private individuals. LDFA clearly intended to
share profits with SCE. LDFA sold beer and other beverages at its festivals. MNDOR files associated with this case have copies
of liquor permits, information from beer vendors, excerpts from a criminal complaint and testimony from
many witnesses. Fanfare Attractions records show how much money was collected from booths making
taxable sales. Using this information the Sales Tax Division staff was able to make estimates of taxes
owed. The Defendant is a business person who has been in the promotion business for decades and who
routinely filed Federal Form 990's for his client. He failed to file and remit Sales and Alcohol Taxes for all
years that SCE operated the Lumberjack Days Festival. SCE's tax obligations transfer personally to the
Defendant since he is an officer and owner. The Sales and Alcohol Tax debt exceeds $100,000 and may
be more than $121,000 for the years covered by MNDOR's investigation. NON-RESIDENT ENTERTAINERS TAX INVESTIGATION Non-Resident Entertainer Tax Audit Activity Review of St. Croix Events, Inc. files noted an outstanding debt for Non-Resident Entertainer Tax (NRE). An
NRE audit was started in 2008 after the MNDOR Withholding Division was alerted to NRE problems with
St. Croix Events, Inc. Non-Resident Entertainers Tax is mandated by MN Stat. 290.920. It is a 2% tax on the
gross amount of money paid to entertainers from outside of Minnesota. Subd. 7 of the Statute mandates
the tax be withheld at the time of payment by the person or entity making the payment to the non-resident
entertainer. It is therefore a Withholding tax and the MNDOR Withholding Division administers it. Sudb. 7
states MN Stat. 289A.63, the criminal penalties statute, applies to MN. Stat. 290.9201. Sudb. 8 states that
NRE Tax must be deposited with the Commissioner of Revenue. As a trust tax it automatically comes into
existence the moment the entertainer agrees to a contract, payment is made and money is deducted. The
tax is withheld from the contract payment like any other withholding trust tax and is legally the property of
MNDOR. The promoter is "trusted" to retain the tax and remit it according to MNDOR required deadlines. An NRE deposit form and the NRE Tax must be deposited with MNDOR by the last day of the month
following any performance. The promoter is required to give each entertainer a Form 1099-MISC. The
promoter must file an annual form summarizing the previous year's NRE withholding for all events. The
promoter is required to list all 1099-MISCs issued on annual form. The form is due by February 28. An NRE audit began after entertainers filed for their NRE 2007 tax refunds and no NRE forms were found
for either Lumberjack Days Festival Association or St. Croix Events, Inc. Messages were left with St. Croix
Events, Inc. on June 8, 2008, January 8, 2009, and February 11, 2009. The Defendant was finally contacted
on February 12, 2009. He indicated he would be meeting with his accountants on 2-17-2009. On 4-252009 an auditor's note states the Defendant admitted St. Croix Events, Inc. paid entertainers. The note
states Defendant admitted learning in 2008 that St. Croix Events, Inc. was responsible for NRE Taxes. Mr.
Eckberg retained attorney Yuri Berndt to handle the NRE matters effective 5-12-2009. Twelve more notes
after Mr. Berndt was retained until 6-7-2010 document repeated efforts by the auditors to bring the
Defendant into compliance. The Withholding Division completed a NRE audit on St. Croix Events for tax years 2006 through 2009. The
audit resulted in a tax debt of $14,780.70, including penalties and interest, effective October 14, 2010. The
5
Defendant filed an appeal asking the overall debt be reduced. The taxes were not remitted and on April 22,
2011, a Collections Division Demand to Pay letter was issued to St. Croix Events, Inc. The Collections
letter offered a payment plan for the NRE Tax and it appears that St. Croix Events, Inc. entered into a
payment plan shortly thereafter. The Defendant's appeal letter stated he was now aware of his NRE
obligations and would comply with all future NRE obligations. On March 1, 2011, the Defendant's appeal
was denied. The 2011 festival was held and NRE Taxes for that year were withheld. No required forms
were filed and no NRE Taxes were remitted for 2011. In November 2011 St. Croix Events, Inc. was in
default for its 2006-2009 NRE taxes and the payment plan was terminated. The NRE debt for those years
remains outstanding. St. Croix Events, Inc. did file and remit required NRE related forms and taxes for tax year 2010. This
established the Defendant knew of his obligations. No filings or tax remittances have been received for tax
year 2011, the last year St. Croix Events, Inc. held a Lumberjack Days Festival using out of state
entertainers. T.E.A. Productions is owned and operated by Jack Thibault. He was issued a subpoena for testimony and
records and was interviewed. He described himself as a talent buyer who helps pair up entertainers with
events. He has worked with the Defendant for many years lining up musical acts to perform at Lumberjack
Days. He provided some records covering contracts for Lumberjack Days Festivals in 2008, 2009 and
2011. He was shown flyers for Lumberjack Days Festivals in 2009 and 2011. He pointed out the musical
groups he arranged. In 2009 Creedence Clearwater Revisited played on Friday night July 24th. The
contract was for $55,000 less 2% Minnesota State Entertainers Tax. He furnished a copy of the contract
that included the 2% Withholding. On Saturday July 25, 2009 The Wallflowers performed as the main act.
He thought their contract was for $50,000 and 2% would have been withheld. He also arranged a smaller
act, the Bottle Rockets, for a fee of $2,500. The 2% Tax would also have been withheld from their contract. In 2010, the band Chicago performed on July 24th. Their fee was $100,000 and the contract clearly stated
a 2% MN Entertainers Tax was withheld. Mr. Thibault provided a copy of the contract listing the 2%
Withholding. the Defendant filed and remitted NRE forms and taxes for 2010 performers. This establishes
he knew of his filing and remitting obligations. In 2011 Collective Soul was the main act on Friday July 22nd. Their fee was $50,000 less the 2% MN
Entertainers Tax. Mr. Thibault supplied a copy of the contract showing the withholding. That act was rained
out. The status of the NRE is not known at this time. On Saturday July 23 the main act was Smash Mouth.
Mr. Thibault recalled their fee was $50,000 and there would have been a 2% MN Entertainment Tax
withholding. Mr. Thibault was shown various NRE forms. He stated his office manager always made sure the promoter
had these forms and if they did not have them she would send them out. Mr. Thibault stated the Defendant
knew about the Minnesota Non-Resident Entertainers Tax requirements for many years. Attorney Interview Relating to NRE Tax One of the topics discussed with defendant's attorneys was NRE Taxes. Mr. Berndt confirmed he was
retained in about May of 2009 by the Defendant to represent him before the Minnesota Department of
Revenue regarding issues related to Non-Resident Entertainer Taxes. He indicated he fully briefed the
Defendant on the topic and the Defendant understood his Non-Resident Entertainer Tax obligations. Evidence shows the NRE forms for 2009 were never filed and NRE Taxes were never remitted for 2009.
The Defendant admits he knew in 2008 of his NRE obligations. He was represented by a competent
attorney prior to the 2009 festival who stated the Defendant was fully informed of his NRE obligations. The Defendant as a shareholder and operator of St. Croix Events, Inc., a Minnesota S-Corporation
operating as a promotion business, willfully failed to remit annual Sales Tax with the Minnesota Department
of Revenue for the years 2010 and 2011 in violation of MN Stat. 289A.63Subd. 1(b). MN Stat. 289A.63A
Subd. 1(b) states "A person required to pay or to collect and remit a tax, who willfully attempts to evade or
defeat a tax law by failing to do so when required, is guilty of a felony." The Defendant is personally
6
responsible for remitting all taxes associated with the S-Corporation, St. Croix Events, Inc. The Defendant
took on responsibility for handling the tax related matters of Lumberjack Days Festival Association. Every
year the Defendant operated a festival he had Sales Tax obligations. Each year that sales taxes are not
remitted is considered a separate crime. At a minimum he was required to remit, by February 5th all Sales
Taxes and related Alcohol Taxes for the previous year. For the year 2010 the Defendant operated a Minnesota S-Corporation known as St. Croix Events, Inc.,
whose primary offices, like Defendant's home address, were located in Washington County. St. Croix
Events, Inc. acted as promoter for various events including Lumberjack Days Festival held in Stillwater,
Minnesota. St. Croix Events, Inc. handled all key aspects of the operation of Lumberjack Days Festival
including tax matters. More than $204,000 in sales subject to Minnesota Sales Tax and more than
$119,000 in sales subject to Alcohol Taxes were made during Lumberjack Days in 2010. St. Croix Events,
Inc. knew or should have known as a professional promoter the sales made by Lumberjack Days Festival
were subject to Minnesota Sales Tax and related Alcohol Tax, thereby requiring the Defendant to remit an
estimated $17,255 in annual Sales and Alcohol Taxes no later than February 5, 2011 to the Minnesota
Department of Revenue. The Defendant willfully failed to remit any Sales or Alcohol Taxes for 2010 by the
due date in violation of MN Stat. 289A.63 Subd. 1(a). For the year 2011 the Defendant operated a Minnesota S-Corporation known as St. Croix Events, Inc.,
whose primary offices, like the Defendant's home address, were located in Washington County. St. Croix
Events, Inc. acted as promoter for various events including the annual Lumberjack Days held in Stillwater,
Minnesota. St. Croix Events, Inc. handled all key aspects of the operation of Lumberjack Days including tax
matters. More than $102,000 in sales subject to Minnesota Sales Tax and more than $50,000 in sales
subject to Alcohol Taxes were made during Lumberjack Days in 2011. St. Croix Events, Inc. knew or should
have known as a professional promoter the sales made by Lumberjack Days Festival were subject to
Minnesota Sales Tax and related Alcohol Tax, thereby requiring the Defendant to remit an estimated
$8,390 in annual Sales and Alcohol Taxes no later than February 5, 2012, with the Minnesota Department
of Revenue. The Defendant willfully failed to remit any Sales or Alcohol taxes for 2011 by the due date in
violation of MN Stat. 289A.63 Subd. 1(a). The Defendant as shareholder and operator of St. Croix Events, Inc., operating as a promotion business,
willfully failed to file required Non-Resident Entertainers' Tax returns with the Minnesota Department of
Revenue for the year 2009 in violation of MN Statutes 290.9201 and 289A.63 Subd. 1(a), as a felony. MN
Stat. 289A.63 Subd. 1(a) states "A person required to file a return, report or other document who willfully
attempts in any manner to evade or defeat a tax by failing to file it when required, is guilty of a felony." The
Defendant was personally responsible for filing all tax returns for his S-Corporation, St. Croix Events, Inc.,
including required Non-Resident Entertainers' Tax returns (NRE) required pursuant to MN Stat. 290.9201.
St. Croix Events, Inc.'s oldest NRE tax filing obligation for Lumberjack Days events that is within the six
year statute of limitations is for tax year 2009. The form ETD was due on August 31, 2009, the end of the
month following the July 2009 Lumberjack Days performances. Promoters are also required to file Form
ETA, Promoters Annual Reconciliation, at the end of every tax year. The filing deadline is February 28 after
the close of a tax year. Form ETA for tax year 2009 was due on Feb. 28, 2010. The Defendant as shareholder and operator of St. Croix Events, Inc., a Minnesota S-Corporation operating
as a promotion business, willfully failed to remit required Non-Resident Entertainers' Taxes with the
Minnesota Department of Revenue for the year 2009 in violation of MN Statutes 290.9201 and 289A.63
Subd 1, as a felony. MN Stat. 289A.63A Subd. 1(b) states "A person required to pay or collect and remit a
tax, who willfully attempts to evade or defeat a tax law by failing to do so when required, is guilty of a felony."
The Defendant is personally responsible for remitting all taxes associated with St. Croix Events, Inc. As a
promoter his company took on responsibility for handling the tax related matters of the clients. At a
minimum he was required to remit NRE Tax the month following a performance in Minnesota. He was
required to remit NRE Taxes annually by the following February 28th of each tax year. St. Croix Events,
Inc.'s oldest NRE Tax remittance obligation that is within the six year statute of limitations is for tax year
7
2009. Taxes for Lumberjack Days Festival July 2009 performances were due on August 31, 2009.
Promoters are also required to remit NRE Taxes using form ETA, Promoters Annual Reconciliation, at the
end of every tax year. The filing deadline is February 28 after the close of a tax year. Form ETA for tax year
2009 was due on Feb. 28, 2010. For the year 2009 the Defendant operated a Minnesota S-Corporation known as St. Croix Events, Inc.,
whose primary offices were located in Washington County. The 2009 Minnesota Non-Resident
Entertainers' Tax remittance (ETA), for entertainers paid by St. Croix Events, Inc. in 2009, was due no later
than February 28, 2010. The Defendant willfully failed to timely remit the Non-Resident Entertainers' Taxes
(ETA) by the due date of February 28, 2010 in violation of MN Statutes 290.9201 and 289A.63 Subd. 1(b).
