The IRS Is Reading Pop Culture Websites And Watching Celebrity Interviews For Leads



Suge Knight

The IRS has been clamping down on celebrities who have not been paying their taxes. The IRS reads blogs and websites like TMZ, which often feature items bragging about expensive items celebrities purchased and how it's chump change for them. The IRS is reading said sites looking for items to move on and have successfully done so.


Suge Knight lost his mansion

When the IRS sees you posing online with your Rolex "Oyster Perpetual" watch, they run a check and see you haven't paid your taxes, they will start to "perpetually" put their foot in your butt to get their cash. Yes, the IRS is gangster like that (LOL).


Young Buck

Ironically, music industry figure, Suge Knight, publicly bragged about illegally commandeering Death Row Records' assets he stated (at the time) is worth $1 billion dollars. The interview caught the attention of the U.S. government, IRS included and they came after Knight, in a series of maneuvers that left him bankrupt.



Young Buck posing with cash in the music video "Stunt 101." The IRS was like we want our cut!

G-Unit rapper Young Buck displayed his wealth in the music video "Stunt 101"among other outlets and the IRS went oh really negro. They went after Young Buck, took his house and everything in it (reportedly down to his kid's Nintendo) over a $300,000 tax bill.


Young Buck counting cash in "Stunt 101" vid. The IRS taught him how to "stunt" alright

During the IRS raid on Young Buck's home, they discovered an illegal weapon. As a felon, Young Buck had been barred from owning a weapon. The gun found during the raid cost him 18-months in prison. He has since filed bankruptcy to wipe out debts, such as a loan from fellow G-Unit rapper 50 Cent.



Richard Hatch from "Survivor" posing with check

Going on high profile shows such as "Survivor" winning $1,000,000 then not paying your taxes, will catch the IRS' eye. That was the case with Richard from "Survivor" and they put him in prison. I'm surprised he didn't think the IRS saw the show. It was on national TV for goodness sake.



Draya Michelle, stripper turned reality star, didn't always report her full income (those dollar bills add up as the year moves along)

Then there's Wesley Snipes. The king tax dodger. The tax dodger to end all tax dodgers. Snipes didn't pay the IRS the $15,000,000 he owed them over the course of several tax years and thought they wouldn't notice. He invoked some sovereign law nobody knew about and twisted existing statues to make his case... and the IRS won. He was sentenced to 5-years in prison and served three.

If the government asks how much money you have this should be your reaction:


Just kidding. Don't lie to the government.

Rappers and R&B stars partial to posing with huge stacks of cash and posting the photos online, yea, the IRS is watching you too. Bragging to the public can be quite costly, with a media savvy government watching and waiting for their cut.

New Evidence Reveals The FBI Sent People To Death Row Who Were Innocent Of Crimes They Were Convicted Of

 
  
FBI Director Robert S. Mueller
 
A new publish report indicates the FBI sent 27 people to prison on death row, on corrupted evidence that was compromised in the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s lab. It was discovered FBI employees lied on the witness stand about lab evidence to close out criminal cases, sending innocent people to prison, sitting on death row awaiting execution. The FBI is now reviewing these old cases.

The Judiciary Report has stated it before and will state it again, there are people locked away behind bars proclaiming their innocence and some are actually telling the truth. Sometimes innocent people lose their freedom and waste away in prison, while actually criminals walk free (you know, like George Zimmerman).
 
STORY SOURCE

U.S. reviewing 27 death penalty convictions for FBI forensic testimony errors
 
By Spencer S. Hsu, Wednesday, July 17, 7:07 PM - An unprecedented federal review of old criminal cases has uncovered as many as 27 death penalty convictions in which FBI forensic experts may have mistakenly linked defendants to crimes with exaggerated scientific testimony, U.S. officials said. The review led to an 11th-hour stay of execution in Mississippi in May.

It is not known how many of the cases involve errors, how many led to wrongful convictions or how many mistakes may now jeopardize valid convictions. Those questions will be explored as the review continues. The discovery of the more than two dozen capital cases promises that the examination could become a factor in the debate over the death penalty. Some opponents have long held that the execution of a person confirmed to be innocent would crystallize doubts about capital punishment. But if DNA or other testing confirms all convictions, it would strengthen proponents’ arguments that the system works.

FBI officials discussed the review’s scope as they prepare to disclose its first results later this summer. The death row cases are among the first 120 convictions identified as potentially problematic among more than 21,700 FBI Laboratory files being examined. The review was announced last July by the FBI and the Justice Department, in consultation with the Innocence Project and the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers (NACDL).

The unusual collaboration came after The Washington Post reported last year that authorities had known for years that flawed forensic work by FBI hair examiners may have led to convictions of potentially innocent people, but officials had not aggressively investigated problems or notified defendants.

Since at least the 1970s, written FBI Laboratory reports typically stated that a hair association could not be used as positive identification. However, on the witness stand, several agents for years went beyond the science and testified that their hair analysis was a near-certain match...

FBI Releases Tupac File Showing Death Threats And Extortion

Tupac Shakur and Suge Knight - the latter is mentioned in a redacted file, regarding the shooting death of an LAPD officer, who was having sex with his wife Sharitha

The FBI has released portions of its file on the late rapper and Black Panther, Tupac Shakur, who was gunned down in a 1996 drive-by shooting in Las Vegas. Shakur was the passenger of former Death Row Records muscle CEO, Suge Knight.

The heavily redacted FBI files reveal Shakur and the late rapper Easy E, were allegedly being threatened and faced extortion attempts by the Jewish Defense League. The FBI was unable to prove the claims.

Tupac Shakur

Easy E came into contact with the Jewish Defense League, via his business partner at Ruthless Records, Terry Heller. He contacted them for assistance with Suge Knight, who stole his artist Dr. Dre by force, using fellow gang members armed with bats, pipes and chains.

For years, many have named Knight as the culprit behind Shakur's killing and that of his friend turned rival, the Notorious B.I.G. Knight was a passenger in the car on the night of Shakur's slaying, even claiming he was shot in the head and bullet fragments remain lodged in his skull, medical reports dispute that claim.

The Notorious B.I.G. (Christopher Wallace) and Badboy CEO Sean Combs (P. Diddy) faced constant threats from Suge Knight. Wallace was murdered shortly after in 1997 by a known associate of Knight.

Shakur was the only victim in the car, took several bullets to his head and body, while Knight walked away from the incident in perfect health. Knight owed Shakur $20,000,000 in royalty payments he kept refusing to pay and the rapper was getting ready to leave his label.

Knight had become rich in the entertainment industry, from strong-arm tactics and financial theft, even bragging on MTV News that Death Row Records had become a billion dollar company. Shortly after, the IRS moved in on him for tax evasion and the police arrested him in a separate indictment for probation violation. Knight also lost everything in a few short years, including his homes.

Suge Knight Up To His Old Tricks Again


Suge Knight

Former Death Row Records CEO, Marion "Suge" Knight was slapped with a restraining order for allegedly, who are we kidding, for threatening the life of a man in Los Angeles and putting out a hit on him.

It is sad and regrettable Suge is up to his old tricks again. Previously, producer Dr. Dre, Uptown Records CEO, Andre Harrell, the late rapper and label CEO, Eazy E and rapper Vanilla Ice, complained in separate incidents of Suge showing up at their homes, hotels or places of business with armed thugs in tow, threatening them to do his bidding or else.

Some of the incidents devolved into violence. Andre Harrell was reportedly hung upside down over a balcony, while Vanilla Ice was threatened with the same. Dr. Dre and Eazy E were threatened with grievous bodily harm in separate incidents, by Suge and his thugs, who showed up unannounced with guns, bats, pipes and chains. There are numerous other incidents of violence as well, with Suge named as the ring leader.

Suge, you can do better than this. You have to leave those ways behind and turn over a new leaf (without turning someone over on their head and hanging them from a balcony). The FBI and IRS are watching you. You need to straighten up and fly right. Do remember, the FBI has bigger guns and bigger thugs than you do and a Congressional license to use them.

Suge Knight -- Stay Away, or Else!

6/30/2010 10:30 AM PDT - Semi-good news for a man who claimed Suge Knight put out a hit on his life -- Suge was just ordered to stay...away from the guy for three years ... good news only if Suge gets the memo.

According to documents obtained by TMZ, the L.A. area man just snagged a permanent restraining order in L.A. County Superior Court, commanding Suge to stay 100 yards away from Elwood, his home, his car and his workplace.

As we first reported, the guy claimed Suge "had 8 guys come to my house and told them to get me or kill me" back on May 21 -- just one day after Suge was arrested for assault with a deadly weapon...

Suge Knight Arrested Again

Suge Knight

Los Angeles street gang member and former Death Row Records "gansta rap" mogul, Suge Knight, 45, has been arrested in California on weapons charges, accused of pointing a gun at another man and driving on a suspended license. He was taken into custody by the Los Angeles Police Department. Knight is proclaiming innocence in the matter.

Knight has had a number of run-ins with the authorities, which include assault, battery, tax evasion and weapons charges. Knight, a member of the Bloods street gang, was also suspected of ordering the murder of a police officer that began having an affair with his wife during their separation. The Los Angeles police officer was gunned down in the driveway of the Hollywood mansion Knight used to share with his wife.

The Notorious B.I.G.

When someone orders a hit in the entertainment industry, it often involves making music or movies. Not so with Knight. He is the prime suspect blamed for ordering the hit that killed New York rapper, the Notorious B.I.G., born Christopher Wallace.

During his reign at Death Row Records, which was swindled from producer, Dr. Dre, born Andre Young, Knight was accused of a number of assaults against artists, executives and a music engineer. He also assaulted Miami rapper Vanilla Ice, physically forcing him to relinquish $4,000,000 in music publishing royalties.

Kanye West

Knight is currently embroiled in a civil suit, which he filed against Chicago rapper, Kanye West. Knight showed up uninvited to a party on Miami Beach at the Shore Club, hosted by West and was shot on the premises by an unknown assailant.

Legally, Knight can sue for being injured on the club via a gunshot, invoking inadequate security in his claims. However, Knight's violent rap sheet could throw a wrench into the proceedings, if introduced into the case by the defendant.

The Shore Club

If defendant West can successfully prove Knight was uninvited and it should be easily demonstrable that a certain element of violence follows him, the case will prove unsuccessful for Knight. They will simply claim Knight forced his way in through intimidation and brought that element to the club with him, via one of his ongoing industry feuds, where he has violently attacked others.

Knight has had so many brushes with death. It is time he changed his ways and became a better human being in the Lord's sight. These chances at redemption will not go on indefinitely.

Michael Jackson Autopsy Report

Michael Jackson

The autopsy report for the late pop singer, Michael Jackson, has been released and it reveals a host of needle marks on his body, tattoos, two-toned skin from Vitiligo and the fact he wore a wig.

The coroner contracted a consultant regarding Jackson's use of Propofol for insomnia. The consultant submitted a report stating there are no reports of Propofol ever being used to treat insomnia.

That's because plastic surgery addict Michael Jackson grew to love the way the anesthetic drug made him feel and sought out a doctor with compromised morals, to administer the highly potent pharmaceutical to him.

It is not everything a person wants they should have, as some things are harmful and even deadly. It gave Jackson's enemies exactly what they wanted.

Judge Closes Court To Kill Inmate

Judge Sharon Keller

A sadistic, cruel, evil, vile judge, Sharon Keller also know as "Sharon Killer" deliberately closed the court, because she knew lawyers for a man on death row, with hours to live, were trying to file a last minute appeal, to save his life.

There were computer glitches barring the the appeal and when they rushed to the court to file, she instructed the courthouse be closed. Michael Richard was executed 3 hours later, when there were judges present in the court that could have received the appeal.

Michael Richard

Sharon Keller is now facing a civil trial that aims to revoke her judgeship. Plainly put, Keller should be facing fraud and negligent homicide charges, for depriving Michael Richard of his constitutional rights, in deeds that cost him his life. She tried to play god with this man's life and should answer for her actions in a court of law.

Furthermore, there have been a significant number of cases, where DNA evidence later acquitted the wrongfully accused. She had no business depriving him of the opportunity to do so, which is a legal right. Her conduct was thoroughly egregious.

Hasty judges quick to close out cases are always the worst and by far the most incompetent. Judges who quickly toss cases commit criminal fraud. A smart, astute, fair-minded judge, is willing to pore over a case and ascertain the true facts.

US judge 'ignored death row plea'

Richards was executed hours after Judge Keller allegedly closed the court. A judge in Texas has gone on trial accused of refusing to let lawyers for a convicted murderer on death row to lodge a last-minute appeal.

Sharon Keller is charged with professional misconduct. The prisoner, Michael Wayne Richard, was put to death hours after she allegedly shut the court, despite being told an appeal was imminent.

Half of all executions in the US last year were in Texas and Judge Keller has earned the nickname Sharon Killer.

She is known for her tough stance on the death penalty...Their efforts were delayed by computer glitches and when they phoned the court to request extra time, they say they were told court closes at 5pm.

Richard was put to death some three hours later. Now his lawyers claim Judge Keller deliberately ordered the courthouse to close at 5pm, knowing a last-minute appeal was imminent...

State prosecutors have charged Judge Keller with five counts of professional misconduct. They say her actions cast "public discredit" on the judiciary...
