Fat Joe going to prison for tax evasion...and nobody cares

[N*E*R*D]

How the mighty have fallen

Fat Joe was sentenced to four months in federal prison yesterday for failure to file income tax returns on more than $3.3 million in earnings. According to Reuters, the rapper was also fined $15,000.

Joseph "Fat Joe" Cartagena pleaded guilty in December to two counts of failing to file with the IRS. He faced the possibility of serving up to two years in prison. U.S. Magistrate Judge Cathy Waldor showed the rapper leniency, however, for paying $718,000 in back taxes prior to sentencing and for his charitable work, which included donating computers to local schools.

Initially, the rapper was charged with failure to file tax returns from 2007 to 2010, but the charges were reduced to not filing for two years after he agreed to a plea bargain. His income came from Terror Squad Production Inc. and Miramar Music Touring, which he owned, as well as the success of hits like his 2004 song "Lean Back."

"There was a lot going on in the years that I didn't file my taxes, but it was my responsibility," Fat Joe said.

Damn, that's fukked up.

He was just talkin' about this on MTV last month. He got off fairly lightly compared to the kinda numbers and fines they've been givin' other people. I'm sure he's ready to just knock those few months out, so he can get back to his life. This should definitely be a lesson learned for him, and anyone else not takin' care of their business.

The IRS is no joke!
