Erika Jayne’s Tax Fraud & Shell Company
EJ Global LLC was filed on Erika’s joint tax returns with husband, Tom Girardi, for many years. The California Franchise Tax Board has declared EJ Global LLC (EJG) not a genuine business for profit but was simply a business where they improperly used it for lifestyle expenses, which in turn, gave Erika and Tom improper tax deductions on their joint tax return. Erika signed all of her tax returns with Tom and has publicly said she read her tax returns. She was also represented by counsel at the Franchise Tax Board tax audit.
Erika Jayne launched EJ Global back in 2008 and is the sole member. The trustee believes that Erika created a new company in 2021, Pretty Mess, Inc in order to allegedly help hide her money from creditors.
EJ Global is a defendant in multiple lawsuits. According to attorney, Ronald Richards, the problem is EJG has been suspended by the Franchise Tax Board, this means it has not complied with the tax code.
In early 2021, Tom Girardi filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy. The trustee working on the case also sued the “Expensive” singer for the return of money that Tom transferred to her EJ Global business for personal luxury items. The 50-year-old has claimed that everything given to her was “a gift” therefore she is not responsible.
In the lawsuit, the trustee presiding over Girardi’s bankruptcy case accuses the once-respected lawyer of spending his firm’s money to pay the bills for EJ Global. Bank records revealed Jayne spent $14 million on her American Express card in the past decade.
