This guy was pulling in $400,000 to $750,000 a month and only spending about $50,000 to make it. No wonder someone with questionable ethics might be drawn to that kind of return. Of course, the penalty for getting caught is 9 years in in jail. Given good behaviour, he’ll probably be out in 4 years. His net worth is thought to be around $24 million, so he may still be ahead overall when he gets out. Hopefully the IRS and other government agencies can help alleviate any headaches managing such a large sum of would cause.
