                      I have zero sympathy for him.

                      Because of people like him, the rest of us end up paying more than our fair share. The government runs off of tax payer money and when people like him don't pay their taxes, they just pass along the shortfall to the rest of us.

                      There is also no way he could only owe $400,000 of taxes on $38M of earnings...it is impossible. Even if he had multiple tax shelters and losses from businesses, etc. the system has a built in Alternative Minimum Tax which would eliminate many of the shelters and force one to pay at least a mininmum amount which would be in excess of $400,000 for him.

                          You and me both, brother.

                          That's why I hire a tax accoutant.

                              I don't feel sorry for him whatsoever.
                              Earning all that money and failing to pay taxes like the rest of us.
                              He needs to pay the piper.
