1. It Sure Wasn't To Pay His Taxes
He owes over a quarter of a million in back taxes on his Florida estate.

2. So that's why he's broadcasting from NYC
Explains a lot.

Not only is he a criminal to support his habit, he's a tax evader.

3. I'll Be Durned
He paid it up yesterday. Must be off his "Rush" for a while.

4. My Local Radio Wingnut Talkshow Host Sez
this: "I don't get it. He is withdrawing the money in a way to hide the activity and then I guess he pays his dealer for the pills. How does this constitute money laundering? BTW, I do not agree with the law that lets the feds track what one does with one's own money. It may be legal, but I think it is a violation of one's rights. It's no one's business what I do with however much of my own money."

Sic semper wingnuts.

5. What most of those wingnuts do with "their money"
Is ship it overseas to avoid taxes.
