The federal government has named its latest suspect to a growing list of alleged phony tax advisers and preparers — and this one’s a lawyer.

Kaiser of The Kaiser Law Firm in St. Louis, Mo., from promoting several allegedly fraudulent tax schemes, most of them on behalf of wealthy clients. Kaiser joins a long list of tax advisers and preparers who have been the subject of government charges and investigations in recent months, just in time for tax season.
