2007 Tax Offender of the Year to be Released on Sunday

   Gene Haas won the coveted Tax Offender of the Year award for 2007.
   [1]As I've detailed Mr. Haas lost a patent lawsuit and decided to get
   back at the government by committing tax fraud. He was sentenced to 24
   months at ClubFed.
   As reported in the [2]Ventura County Star, Mr. Haas will be released
   after serving 16 months. His sentence was shortened after successfully
   going through a 500-hour treatment for alcoholism.
   I am hopeful that Mr. Haas has realized the errors he made. He's still
   the owner of Haas Automation, and hopefully he'll be able to help that
   company in the future.
