Milton Street Convicted Of Tax Evasion

T. Milton Street: "What, Me Worry?"

Bawahahahahahahahahaha!!! Guess what, John? You're next!

PHILADELPHIA (AP) ― T. Milton Street Sr., the eccentric older brother of the city's last mayor, was convicted of three tax-evasion charges, but acquitted of four fraud counts over what prosecutors had described as a kickback scheme at the city-owned airport.

The jury, which deliberated over nearly three days, also deadlocked on two other tax-related counts against Street.

Street, 68, had pleaded not guilty to all nine charges in an indictment that said he took advantage of his relationship with the mayor to make $30,000 a month as a consultant and minority subcontractor at the airport from 2001 to 2004, yet did little or no work.

Prosecutors also said he failed to report $2 million in consulting fees for tax purposes.

Are you ready, kids? Here's the money quote:

"No corruption, no fraud, no wrongdoing on the part of Milton Street. I didn't file. That's it," Street said afterward. "That's a major victory."

I'm no lawyer, buy I think not filing your income taxes can be considered "wrongdoing," Milty. This missing link is facing 27-33 months in Federal Pound-You-In-The-Arse Prison, and he's calling it a "major victory?" I want some of what he's smoking.

On the stand, Milton Street told jurors he did nothing illegal, but believes the U.S. tax code is unconstitutional. (H/T - CBS3)

How did that work out for ya, Milton? I swear to God, this entire family should be wiped off the face of the earth.
