Sinbad - Pay Your Taxes. Or make a hilarious comeback


When I was a kid I thought Sinbad was hilarious...I don't know if that means he really was, but either way I thought so.  Anyway he's not paying his taxes which seems to be all the rage these days.  I'm just waiting for the "bad financial advisor" excuse or "evil manager" who was out to steal his money.  Honestly though, Tyler Perry is a big star who makes a lot of money, so I think Sinbad should be able to take a little bit of that dough.
The Benton Harbor native, who emceed Motown Records’ 50th anniversary gala last month, owes more than $8.15 million in delinquent federal taxes, and the U.S. Attorney General’s office wants his house sold to help satisfy the debt, according to federal court records.
On Dec. 10, an assistant U.S. attorney asked a federal judge to foreclose on several tax liens and determine the 53-year-old comedian (full name Sinbad Adkins) is the true owner of a $1.5 million home in Hidden Hills, Calif. In response, Sinbad filed chapter 7 bankruptcy the next day
