The Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit, affirming the district court, has held in Newbill v. U.S. that the president, treasurer, and majority shareholder of a construction company was liable for the trust fund recovery penalty under Code Sec. 6672. He was a responsible person, and agreements that gave creditors joint control over the company’s accounts didn’t shield him from the penalty.
