Eight Million Ways to Lie

Lawrence Block wrote a great book, Eight Million Ways to Die. A Milpitas, CA couple could write a sequel: Eight Million Ways to Lie (on Your Tax Return).

The couple sold an invention to the predecessor of Lucent Technologies for $8 million. No problems yet. Then they didn’t report the income on their tax returns. Oops. Unlike Richard Hatch, the couple has accepted a plea agreement. They’ve paid the $2.8 million in back taxes, penalties, and interest, and will serve jail time. They’re also paying a $350,000 fine. As an aside, I believe that this couple because they settled will find themselves much better off than Richard Hatch will when he is sentenced later this month.

The news story also noted that the couple was prohibited under their employment contract from such a sale. The husband was laid off.
