Top Ten Tax Cheats In US History

For most, saving money on taxes is a must, because the financial burden created by having to pay in more than what has already been held out all year long through pay check withholding could be the budget breaker. The result is that the average taxpayer looks for every deduction and exemption available, and then seeks to maximize it to their benefit. In most instances this is consistent with tax rules and regulations. In other instances though, the acts are so egregious that the IRS steps in and imposes fines and penalties, and may even seek to imprison a tax cheat.

The list of top ten tax cheats in US history includes some familiar names, and some not so familiar names. Here’s the list:

• Al Capone, infamous mobster.
• Ty Warner, maker of the beanie baby toy.
• Action movie star Wesley Snipes.
• Joe and Teresa Giudice, reality television personalities.
• Tax attorney Paul Daugerdaus.
• Igor Olenicoff, real estate mogul.
• Self-proclaimed “Queen of Tax Fraud” Rashia Wilson.
• Leona Helmsley.
