Despite paying off her tax debt (at the last minute) Lauryn Hill was sentened to three months in federal prison for tax evasion! According to her lawyer, she paid off nearly $970,000 in state and
federal tax liabilities,the judge was unperturbed and sentenced Lauryn
to 3 months behind bars, 3 months of house arrest AND 9 months of
supervised release!
During the hearing, Lauryn defended her mounting tax debt by saying
"I was put into a system I didn't know the nature of. ... I'm a child
of former slaves. I got into an economic paradigm and had that imposed
on me." I sold 50 million units ... now I'm up here paying a tax debt.
If that's not likened to slavery, I don't know what is."
