Brockman, a self-taught software entrepreneur who created a system to enable auto dealers to operate electronically, had been defending against more than $2 billion in IRS charges of tax evasion and money laundering since 2020.

In 1970, Brockman established the first Universal Computer Services, Inc. (UCS) as a service bureau to cater to the needs of car dealerships in need of data processing services.

In a 39-count indictment filed in October 2020, the government accused him of omitting $2 billion in taxes, as well as wire fraud, money laundering, and other offences.
