After taking a few days off for an annual convention, would I return to an in-basket bereft of the usual tax evaders? Hardly.
Joe Kristan of Roth Tax Updates reported on some of the more felonius evaders, including Richard Hatch (now on trial for not reporting his Survivor winnings) and a West Virginia accountant who stole more than $1 million and still owes over $500,000 in taxes.
But there’s more out there (as always). Rapper Mystikal won’t be on tour anytime soon, as he’s added a concurrent one-year sentence for tax evasion to his 2004 six-year sentence for sexual assault. Michael Taylor (aka Mystikal) failed to report $2 million in income to the IRS. Taylor must make restitution, including interest.
Perhaps Mystikal can, when he gets out, re-record “I Fought the Law [and the Law Won].”
