Kalispell businessman, David Tacke of VenueTech gets prison

Kalispell businessman David Tacke, convicted in June of a dozen fraud and money-laundering charges, was sentenced to nine years in prison Tuesday.

"The government is very pleased" with the sentence, said prosecuting U.S. Attorney Kris McLean of Missoula. "It sends the right message … scam artists beware."

The charges came from investments people made in a variety of corporations controlled by Tacke’s company, VenueTech System. He was convicted by a federal jury in Missoula last summer of one count of mail fraud and one count of wire fraud for interstate investment communications. Those convictions made possible the convictions on 10 counts of money laundering stemming from transactions between bank accounts.

VenueTech was promoted as a manufacturer of binoculars that fans would rent at sports stadiums.
