Can a person be charged with Tax Evasion for not depositing a large amount of cash and keeping it on hand. Or not reporting it to the Department of Revenue? Within a short amount of time?

For not depositing the money, no.
For not declaring the money as income, maybe. If the money was taxable, you have to report it. If it was not taxable (gift, inheritance, some lawsuit settlements), you don't have to report it.

Originally the monies were from an oversea's account entrusted to a person for healthcare. Then they were stolen and gathered again. Then distributed to surviving members of family. The $12 million was never reported to anyone at anytime. In fact it has never even seen the inside of a Bank.

So this was an inheritance? If so, the heirs pay no taxes for receiving the $$ unless the deceased was a US citizen or permanent resident & the estate did not report the $$ as an asset. If the deceased was, say Tunisian, the heirs in the US have not done anything wrong by accepting the inheritance. If the deceased was supposed to file a US estate tax return, the money can be seized by the IRS to pay the delinquent estate taxes.

This assumes the money is not subject to seizure under other laws (proceeds of crime/drugs).
