Voodoo Chief Convicted of Tax Evasion

Sharon Lee Caulder, now of New Orleans, was convicted on Friday of failing to file tax returns and hiding assets during her bankruptcy. Ms. Caulder apparently made $1.7 million in gross income between 1998 and 2002, mostly from sale of her book, Mark of Voodoo. The Amazon cover photo (of the book) states that Ms. Caulder has a PhD. Apparently, she didn’t take any accounting or tax courses while at college.

Ms. Caulder will be sentenced in late February in Oakland. She faces up to 15 years in prison and fines of up to $1 million.

Voodoo is more profitable than I realized, especially if your net income after taxes is the same as your net income before taxes (until Uncle Sam catches you).
