Judge Lengthens Tax Protester’s Sentence

Kelly Phillips ErbSeptember 8, 2008December 4, 2019

Remember Irwin Schiff?

He is serving the equivalent of a life sentence for his tax evasion and tax fraud convictions. Though he was only sentenced to 13 years in federal prison, that should more or less be the end for the 80 year old tax evader.

Only it isn’t. A federal judge has sentenced him to an additional 11 months in prison for 15 contempt citations during his trial – 15! At this rate, he may make 100 in prison.
