Mr. Avetian admitted that he aided and abetted the distribution of controlled substances and filed false income tax returns, according to an Aug. 3 judgment, according to the publication, which stated that many of the filings in the case have been sealed.
He was charged with failing to report roughly $363,830 of gross receipts from 2012 through 2014 on his federal income tax returns.
