A lesson to all would-be tax evaders/avoiders: if caught, the government views nothing so seriously as perceived crimes against the state.
My own view is its my money, why should I give it to a set of incompetent Assclowns who'll waste it on pathetic social-engineering projects the majority don't even want? (this may apply rather more to the UK than the US)
Glad he got off.
