A man who admitted he scammed the Internal Revenue Service out of millions, has learned his fate.


Andy Rodriguez, of Allentown, was sentenced Thursday to spend 30 months in prison, followed by three years' supervised release.


The 26-year-old was also ordered to pay $2.9 million in restitution.


Rodriguez pleaded guilty in August 2014 to defrauding the IRS of more than $2.9 million in tax refunds.


He admitted that between Aug. 17, 2010, and Jan. 31, 2012, he knowingly filed false tax returns with the IRS claiming refunds in the names of other individuals.


The returns included W-2 forms falsely claiming that taxes were withheld by various employers.


The IRS identified more than 600 false returns that were associated with this scheme.


Rodriguez must report to prison on March 23.
