Tyson owing the IRS reminds me of what the IRS did to Joe Louis. The IRS is ruthless.

[Weebler I]

He owes what he owes. No one told him to blow $300m.

Hire a proper accountant... solves most of the tax problems right there.

im not saying mike is innocent by any means the dude made like $400 million the IRS has the right to garnish every single wage he has

[turnedup]

Bad money managers..a legit money man's first job is to separate what will be owed to the government so his employers isn't able to spend the IRS's cut. Some folks on here love to kick dogs when they are down..Mike's money put a lot of people in good positions, put them in homes, put kids through college...he's given more to charity and others than you will make in a lifetime...so hate on and call him stupid. Most of you mofo's can't manage your several hundred dollar bank accounts but expect a troubled kid from brooklyn thrusted into the limelight with no real supervision to manage millions upon millions of dollars.

The IRS is ruthless, but...

He owes what he owes. No one told him to blow $300m.

BINGO!

[Redd Foxx]

I was wondering why he was whoring himself in every TV op and signing possible. Makes sense now though.

I believe this is a very valid statement. I've been as critical as anyone else of athletes and entertainers that squander their earnings, but I'm not afraid to admit that the bold statement contains more than a kernel of truth.
