Operators of a Garden City outfit called “Big Bucks Bingo” have been charged with tax fraud and conspiracy for allegedly claiming more of their take went to charity than really did.

If convicted, the “Big Bucks” operators could face up to three years in prison for tax fraud and five years for conspiracy.
