A Happy day for the IRS

Today in History: (10/17/06)

In 1931, mobster Al Capone was convicted of income tax evasion. (Sentenced to 11 years in prison, Capone was released in 1939.)

Thought I would share the word

Thanks!
The irony, according to his biographers, is that he could have settled with the IRS earlier and avoided a trial and prison time. Also, though he had tons of lawyers, few were competent. One of the competent ones was the guy who could have arranged a plea bargain and fine. Capone stiffed him. :rolleyes:
