A Shaler accountant will spend an extra 10 months in prison for committing another crime while he was on bond for his first offense.

John J. Bowman Jr., 52, is already serving a 57-month prison term for taking nearly $2 million from his clients beginning in the mid-1990s.

Mr. Bowman ran Bowman & Associates on Route 8. He was charged in the first case in 2003 with 23 counts of fraud and three counts of money laundering. Investigators with the FBI and Internal Revenue Service said Mr. Bowman was running eight separate schemes in which he collected money from clients that he was supposed to use to pay their taxes.

Instead, he kept the cash for himself, using it to pay for strippers at a nightclub, as well as $280,000 on a luxury box at Mellon Arena.

He pleaded guilty in that case in October 2005.

While out on bond with that matter pending, Mr. Bowman began working for another woman and suggested that she invest in U.S. Treasury bonds.

The woman gave him $65,000 to invest, said Assistant U.S. Attorney Shaun Sweeney. Instead of buying bonds with the money, Mr. Bowman used the cash for himself.

He did, however, send the victim $1,500, telling her that it was the returns she'd earned on her investment.
