…in jail.
After having been gone for just under a week, I must thank Roth Tax Updates for the first of a few gems. It seems that Lynne Meredith received 121 months (10 years and a month) for conspiring to defraud the IRS. The Los Angeles Times details the story here (one-time registration required). In her book, How to Cook a Vulture, she stated that she could show people how to get the IRS to write you a letter that you didn’t have to pay taxes.
It didn’t work.
But Ms. Meredith won’t have to pay taxes in upcoming years. She’ll be making sub-minimum wage in a Federal penitentiary.
