  None of these people here care that he does not prepare his taxes, he has accountants and these are the ones that handle his finances and papers. He is not the first to get cheated and crooked people though, that is why they arrested his sister and his lawyer. He more than likely was getting ripped off by these people. Sure people feel sorry for him,the truth will come out on who screwed who.

• This man did not prepare his taxes, nor manage his finances. He hires people, professional people and most likely entrusted their choices and decisions. Wesley simply refuses to pay taxes based on his personal convictions. I dont think Helio is in the same category. I wish him well, and take no pleasure in the position he finds himself in.

  FYI, Anne C, according to the IRS (2006 data) the top 1% pay 40% of all income taxes collected, the top 5% pay 60% and the top 25% pay 86%. The bottom 50% pay on;y 3%. Just because this cheat didn't pay his share doesn't mean the rich don't pay. They pretty much pay for everyone.

  Why is it that multimillionaires think that they are exempt to things like taxes. Middle class people are expected to pick up the tab for the upper class. When are things going to become fair, the more you make the more you pay and the less you make the less you pay. Not the other way around.

  MissPriss, what about all the Americans ripping off America and getting away with it? I love America & am a proud American but our own government rips us off......so coming to America from another country has nothing to do with his situation. I wish him luck.

  To Cory B: Yes, I CAN blame him. He uses US highways, enjoys the protections of our police and fire departments, maybe even sends his kid to our public schools - all that and much more are paid for by the taxes of US citizens. But you feel sorry for him because he is SO rich that it puts him in a high tax bracket and therefore think its okay for him not to pay taxes on his US-earned millions?!
