Roger Stone owes nearly $2 million in unpaid taxes and fees, Justice Dept. alleges in lawsuit

[spanone]

The U.S. government filed a lawsuit Friday against Roger Stone, claiming he owes the Internal Revenue Service almost
$2 million in unpaid tax bills stretching back more than a
decade — another legal blow for the political consultant convicted of obstructing Congress and later pardoned by his longtime friend, President Donald Trump.

The Justice Department lawsuit was filed in federal court in Florida and argues that Stone’s tax problems stretch back to 2007, when a $205,410 tax bill mushroomed with interest and late fees to a bill of nearly half a million dollars.

The lawsuit alleges that Stone and his wife, Nydia Stone, used a trust and a company to try to improperly shield their assets from tax collectors while they continued to live a lavish lifestyle.

A lawyer who represented Stone last year did not respond to requests for comment.

1. Is that how it works with rich people?

The government has to file a law suit? Why can't the IRS just send him a bill and then wouldn't the burden of proof be on him to deny what he owes?

I'm good with it and they better not let that POS plea bargain down to some probation and a dink ass fine.
