Just a big tax evasion scheme. 80 million in refunds ? dosen't anybody check the story before they cut a cheque. Equating this scam to the BP disaster in which 12 people died is sad. ---Trevor

I'm not comparing to the oil spill, Big oil get's billions of $$$$ in tax kick backs from the IRS every year. Sounds like Mr Evans was small potatoes in the fuel world to me. I wonder how much $$$ he would have gotten if he hadn't faked the returns. Too bad for everyone.

Thanks, Julie for a voice of reason. We should thank the oil companies for the risks and regulations they endure to supply consumers with hydrocarbons for ALL products we use, from race and tow gas to the annoying plastic bags at WalMart rather than vilifying them

Shame about Evan and how it may look to Drag Racing altogether.

It was obvious to anybody that had any business sense that Torco was spending way beyond it's means when all of the cash was being doled out left and right. The gravy train lasted quite a while longer then I thought it would!
I have witnesses that can prove I said so at the time. At least most of the ill-gotten gains were spent on drag racing and not WASTED! |

I live very close (within 10 miles) of the former Torco and pretty much everyone that wasn't getting handouts from him knew something was going on, and that it was just a matter of time before the **** hit the fan. The crazy thing is even though he got this plea deal recently, he still walks around as a free man until he gets sentenced. What stops him from hopping on a jet and flying to Mexico, Bora Bora or Timbuktu?

You cannot operate from the premise that government owns all wealth and production, and they are merely haggling over how much you are "allowed" to keep.
