Federal prosecutors say the owner of Capitol Hill’s Single Shot Kitchen and Saloon did not pay the IRS more than $1 million in employee taxes over a ten-year period beginning with the restaurant’s 2014 debut on Summit.

Federal prosecutors have charged Rory McCormick with one count of Willful Failure to Pay Over Tax in the case that includes allegations of $1,027,362 in unpaid employee taxes and another $418,979 in employer-side payroll taxes owed to the IRS.

Wonder how much he stole in employee wages

I'm curious, too. Those taxes that he was supposed to pay fund the employees' social security contributions and such as well.
