A 72 year old accountant from Middlebury has been sentenced to three months in federal prison for a tax evasion scheme involving more than 1.3 million dollars in unreported income. Edward Sodlosky, who operated a business in Naugatuck, admitted to cashing over two thousand client checks and using multiple accounts to hide income from the IRS. Federal officials say the scheme resulted in more than 422 thousand dollars in tax losses, which has since been repaid, though additional penalties remain. Sodlosky is scheduled to report to prison in late May.
Ed Histed
Ed launched his radio career in 1975 and has spent more than five decades in the broadcasting industry. During that time, he has served in a wide range of roles including Air Personality, News Director, Sales Manager, Operations Manager, and General Manager at numerous radio stations in various markets across the country. Beyond on-air and management responsibilities, Ed has also worked extensively on the technical side of broadcasting. His background includes RF engineering and information technology, with particular experience configuring digital automation systems and remote voice-tracking platforms used by stations across the country. Ed was also among a select group of industry professionals invited by Google to its California headquarters following the company’s acquisition of Scott Studios. He was one of just 12 broadcasters nationwide chosen to participate in discussions and provide input during the design and rollout of Google’s digital broadcast automation platform. Although the majority of Ed’s career—spanning roughly four decades—was rooted in music radio, he transitioned into news and information programming in 2012. He says the move into spoken-word broadcasting was a natural evolution after decades of experience in multiple areas of the industry.
