    “The IRS throws people in jail when you continuously lie to them and make promises you never intend to keep. In other words, they throw you in jail when they know there's "zero" possibility of receiving the money that's owed them. For even the most brazen tax evader, any decent tax attorney can negotiate a deal with the IRS that will keep their client out of prison, provided, that person can follow thru on a promise. On the flip side, F Lee Bailey couldn't keep your 90 year old grandmother out of jail if he can't get a straight answer from her. Whose the bad guys according to Thorpe? Finchem and his attorneys...Finchem is an attorney, himself. He's gone through the transcripts. He's reviewed the case notes. Thorpe is a sociopath. Nice guy, lots of talent and the life of the party, no question...Still, a pathologic liar. Notice how he doesn't know exactly what he owes but he knows to the penny, exactly what he's paid. He's exactly right. The IRS doesn't normally throw people in jail...just those that look you straight in the eyes and tell you bald faced lies. He's going where he belongs. I hope he can get his life in order once he's released. ”

    “Think Tiger was great when he hung out with other golfers like Mark O, and Notah etc. When he made money and started Hanging out with other celebrity like Jordan etc he got into all the ancillary that comes with being a star........thus his problems. Always remember your origins and be humble ”

    “I think is so sad to see this happen to Mr. Thorpe. I hope all goes well for him. He seems to be such a nice guy my prayers will be for him and his family during this unfortunate time. It seems like something could have been done to fix this he is a good guy someone should look into this and help him out. He did admit he was at fault no one is perfect. I feel he is at the age where he needs to be enjoying his golden years. Hopefully, someone will help him out.”
