I believe this is the correct article in reference to it. But keep in mind it is many years old

Ya sorry about the old thread. Somehow I clicked on it accidentally and just noticed the old date.

Damn taxes.

This is BS. I've seen a lot of rich people who commit huge tax/financial fraud getting a slap on the wrist. The only one I can think of who served time is Martha Stewart and she got 5 months in a min-security prison. Actually min-security is a misnomer. I think it was an open prison that she could leave during the day and return at night.

I guess because these guys come from a "quesionable" industry, they get hammered.
