HARRISONBURG, VA (Rocktown Now) — The former vice president of Nexus Services has entered guilty pleas in his federal tax case.

Richard Moore of Fishersville was scheduled to go trial on Tuesday in U.S. District Court in Harrisonburg.

However, the 47-year-old Moore decided to plead guilty to two of the counts he faced, including willfully failing to truthfully account for and pay over Nexus Service’s trust fund taxes for the fourth quarter of 2019 and the first quarter of 2020. In exchange for the please, the other 16 charges were dropped.

The maximum penalty for each count is a fine of $250,000 and/or imprisonment for a term of five years. A sentencing date was not announced.

Incidentally, Moore also has a trial coming up later this year on charges after he and two others were accused of embezzling over 400-thousand dollars from Zachary Cruz, who is the brother of the Parkland, Florida, school shooter.
