Indeed, I found that to be the most suspicious part of his story, a
really strong indication he was rationalizing away his responsibility.
How does the government trick you into failing to pay your taxes, so
they can scrub a project of yours, exactly, anyway?

Another very telling bit of the story is that his Web page _used_ to
mention the tax evasion, but it appears not to anymore (at least not on
the front page, and I'm pretty sure the text there is largely the same),
since I heard about the tax evasion from his own site. I'd say the
removal of that little detail is also rather telling.
