The Most Shocking Tax Cheats in Our History

AL CAPONE

Al Capone murdered, stole, bribed and bootlegged, but as far as the federal government was concerned, failing to pay taxes really made Capone a criminal. The thing is, the IRS has a massive Catch-22 up its sleeve — just because your income is illegal doesn’t mean you don’t owe taxes on it. After over a decade of terrorizing the city of Chicago, Capone was convicted of tax evasion and sentenced to 11 years in prison.
