So what can we all learn from this? Know what's going on with your finances and taxes. Hire a professional before it's to late.
What an interesting post. I was surprised at the Joe Francis post. I did a little more reading on it, and it seems that he had a shady CPA that really got him into hot water. Not that Francis isn't culpable, but I don't think that actors and porn stars are usually very good at handling their financial affairs (obviously)

Whew, tax evasion has become common to a lot of celebrities. These ones are just a few of the many which you can see in the news and the internet. It's way beyond our capabilities as normal people. It's a blessing to earn so much but as Uncle Ben said to Peter Parker: "With great power; comes great responsibility". :)
