A federal grand jury in Las Vegas on Thursday indicted a former professional football player, a casino owner and a Las Vegas business associate for promoting a $278 million scheme that prosecutors contend allowed taxpayers to illegally claim disability-related tax breaks. Joseph Prokop, a punter who played with several National Football League teams, including the New York Jets and the Miami Dolphins , for seven seasons through 1992, was charged with conspiracy, preparing false tax returns and fraud. Also charged were Alan Rodrigues, who operates at least two casinos in Las Vegas and North Las Vegas — including the Opera House and the Silver Nugget — and Weston Coolidge, a businessman from Las Vegas. The scheme, promoted through radio advertisements and on talk-radio programs, was sold 26,600 times to customers nationwide, for $10,475 each. read more
