NYT is on the story:
Mr. Caspersen, a patron of Harvard and Princeton who gave away tens of millions of dollars to charity, apparently harbored a secret: He was suspected of dodging many millions in federal taxes. The authorities, it seemed, were closing in.
At the time of his death, investigators were building a case against Mr. Caspersen on suspicion of using secret offshore bank accounts to evade taxes.
The authorities had asserted he might have owed as much as $100 million in back taxes and fines or, possibly, even have faced prison, according to a person briefed on the investigation, who was granted anonymity because of the delicacy of the case and the events surrounding Mr. Caspersen’s death.
Wenzel,
ReplyDeleteI don't get these stories. You're rich. Go to Switzerland. Or buy an island. Or get lost in Asia.
Why 'turn yourself in' to the Grim Reaper?
@ TAYLOR-
ReplyDeleteBecause this America. This shit isn't supposed to happen here.
Why should a free man be hounded for making the world better by creating immense value and wealth?
