I bet nothing happens.A Los Angeles grand jury indicted Hunter Biden in nine new tax charges, including three felony counts and six misdemeanors, for allegedly not paying $1.4 million in federal taxes.
“The Defendant engaged in a four-year scheme to not pay at least $1.4 million in self-assessed federal taxes he owed for tax years 2016 through 2019, from in or about January 2017 through in or about October 15, 2020, and to evade the assessment of taxes for tax year 2018 when he filed false returns in or about February 2020,” according to the indictment from Special Counsel David Weiss.
The charges include failure to file and pay taxes, evasion of assessment, and filing a fraudulent form.
“Between 2016 and October 15, 2020, the Defendant spent this money on drugs, escorts and girlfriends, luxury hotels and rental properties, exotic cars, clothing, and other items of a personal nature, in short, everything but his taxes,” wrote Weiss.
The prosecution brought receipts that show Hunter had enough money from 2016 to 2019 to pay his taxes.
“The Defendant had a legal obligation to pay taxes on all his income, including income earned in Ukraine from his service on Burisma’s Board, fees generated by deal-making with the Chinese private equity fund, as well as income derived from his work as a lawyer and other sources,” continued Weiss.
Weiss also shot down Hunter using his drug and alcohol problems as excuses for not paying his taxes:
