Philanthropist, or Tax Evader?

Joe Mammana owns the Yardley Egg Farm in Ohio. He’s pledged millions to crack down on criminals. There’s just one little problem, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office: Mr. Mammana hasn’t paid his own taxes.

The Associated Press reports that Mammana hasn’t paid federal taxes since 2000. He’s accused of earning over $3 million, owning luxury cars and a luxurious home without paying taxes. He’s currently in jail after a search found an unregistered handgun. U.S. Magistrate L. Felipe Restrepo denied bail, calling Mammana a flight risk.

Meanwhile, Mammana is accused by an Ohio crime-fighting group of reneging on his promised reward. The head of that group, Kevin Miles, has sued Mammana after he was attacked with a baseball bat and told during the attack to drop the lawsuit.
