Twin brothers from Southern California who worked as MRI technicians are accused of failing to report more than $1.1 million in income, including hundreds of thousands of dollars allegedly made running a lucrative golf tee-time brokering business as a side hustle.
Se Youn “Steve” Kim, 41, of Buena Park, and Hee Youn “Ted” Kim, 41, of Pomona, are charged in Los Angeles federal court with multiple federal tax charges, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office.
Although working day jobs as medical imaging techs, prosecutors contend, the Kims operated a golf tee-time brokering business in which they reserved golf tee times online, including at public golf courses, and resold them to members of the public for a fee, frequently in violation of municipal regulations.
The brothers are suspected of having reserved thousands of tee times for resale at numerous golf courses nationwide, including at least 17 different public courses across Southern California.
