  • Holland's "Taxman to the Stars" Frank Butselaar may have to pay Tiesto's back taxes after being sentenced for tax fraud in New York.

The article from MSN Money discusses how celebrity tax attorney William Sharp, known for representing high-profile clients like DJ Tiƫsto, allegedly helped his clients, including millionaire DJs and models, hide over $100 million in income. Sharp, who was indicted on charges including conspiracy to defraud the United States, allegedly used a complex scheme involving offshore accounts and shell companies to evade taxes.

The article highlights the broader implications of such tax evasion schemes, noting that while these strategies might be legal in some jurisdictions, they raise ethical and legal questions in the U.S., where tax evasion is a serious crime.
