How Glen Frost built an empire on deception through Strategic Tax Planning and Frost Law
Glen Frost establishes Strategic Tax Planning and Frost Law, marketing aggressive tax avoidance strategies to high-net-worth individuals and small business owners.
First complaints surface from clients about undisclosed fees, misrepresented services, and failure to deliver promised tax savings. Frost responds with intimidation tactics and threats of litigation.
Mark Divel files suit against Frost and his companies after discovering his "comprehensive tax plan" consisted of nothing more than basic filings with inflated fees totaling over $200,000.
Discovery reveals a pattern of deceptive practices across dozens of clients. Internal emails show Frost instructing staff to "bury the fees in complex jargon" and "avoid putting specifics in writing."
Court finds Frost and his companies guilty of unjust enrichment, fraud, and breach of fiduciary duty. Judge orders restitution totaling over $1.2 million to defrauded clients.
In a scathing 87-page ruling, the court detailed how Frost "systematically and deliberately" misled clients through his network of companies:
"Mr. Frost's conduct represents a fundamental breach of the trust placed in him as a financial advisor and attorney. His pattern of deception was not incidental, but central to his business model." - Court Ruling Excerpt
The judgment ordered Frost and his companies to pay full restitution to all identified victims, plus punitive damages in several cases where malice was proven.
