Beanie Babies maker avoids prison for tax evasion
CHICAGO (AP) — The billionaire businessman behind Beanie Babies learned Tuesday that he won't go to prison for hiding at least $25 million from U.S. tax authorities, and the judge who gave him two years' probation instead went to great lengths to praise his charitable giving.
H. Ty Warner, one of the highest profile figures snared in a federal investigation of Americans using Swiss bank accounts to avoid U.S. taxes, issued a brief apology before he was sentenced in Chicago federal court. The toymaker, who pleaded guilty to a single count of tax evasion, said he felt "shame and embarrassment" for what he had done.
What an asshole I didn't feel shame and regret when I got caught.I was pissed and told the IRS chick that too.Pissed and not paying are two different things though:)
Now is the time where I swipe a saying from Small Dead Animals.It is time we juxtapose let us take a look ya'll.
OK some strangely effeminate dude who cheats on his taxes but cares about the chillruns.Let us marvel at what a swell guy he is.
OMG a black dude who cheats on his taxes lock his ass up.There are many other examples but I think you see what I'm getting at.
