Beanie Baby Maker Ty Warner Avoids Jail in Tax Case - Businessweek
While I agree that prison is usually a terrible solution, this guy did something that would get you or me a couple of years in the hoosegow. Instead, not even a minute for him.
So, is this justice, or is this justice for the rich only? Here is a guy who is fantastically rich and yet that wasn't enough for him. So he evades taxes, gets caught and buys his way out, home free. Is it me, or is this a special kind of justice for the rich?

Warner has paid a civil penalty of $53 million and filed amended tax returns for the years 1999 to 2008, his lawyers said. He has also paid $14 million in back taxes and interest, according to prosecutors.
I have mixed feelings about this.
Seems to me the public is served well enough. Let him continue to make money. He knows he'll be on the IRS watch list for years to come. He'll be so honest, he'll squeak.
Money is the appropriate way to punish this, I think.

I don't disagree with this, as long as the average person gets the same treatment. Consistency.I have mixed feelings about this.

You believe the radio ads?The "average person" is seldom criminally prosecuted and is allowed to settle his tax liabilities for pennies on the dollar.
