        On September 11, 2017, Marcel A. Walton, a self-proclaimed “Grand Sheik” of a Moorish temple in Chicago, was sentenced to nearly six years in federal prison for causing the Internal Revenue Service to issue more than $3.2 million in fraudulent tax returns. Walton filed similarly fraudulent returns for 17 other people on the false pretense that temple members were entitled to remuneration from the United States government for its purported use of Moorish lands.
