            You know, when you start doing stupid things, like ignoring a contempt of court order you start drawing undesired attention to yourself.

            Unfortunately, money does not buy brains, and if his attornies were advising him he apparently was not heeding their advice.

                Wow, from king of the world to convict in just a few years. Would be one hell of a fall if he's found guilty.

                        By the end it would have probably been cheaper to pay the $20 mil

                            True...

                            And when the law can't find enough to do the deed, they sometimes bring in the IRS to see what they can find on their end with hopes of gettin' the bad guy that way.. That's how they finally got some of the old gangsters back in the day..

                              Some of those deductions are well fucking funny. Hell you would think with his money he could of at least afforded a more creative accountant if he planed on cheating.

                                  I wouldnt if my job was getting thousands of daddies lil girls to expose themselves and much much more on video, the web, and national tv spots just for a hat and t-shirt. I would be very concerned with how many of those daddies may be in prison with me if I was him. I am fairly sure they would be very fond of his twink ass.

                                    It doesn't work like that. He will be paying the 20 million back to the IRS in addition to a fine. Then he'll have to fork out the legal fees, which for good tax lawyers usually go to somewhere around 2-4k per hour.

                                                                              Greed is right.

                                                                                            The IRS will cut a "payment deal" and out of the $20 million, he will owe about 60% of that, which means he will pay out $12 million, plus a few minor fines, and wind up walking away with +$7 million....

                                                                                            Remember, although the IRS is government, it is still a business too.
