Does anyone have instances of people being imprisoned purely for failing to file a tax return?
Post Body
This was inspired by this post: "Next time someone tells you that you don't get thrown in jail for not paying taxes, show them this." It appears that they were not imprisoned purely for not paying taxes.
I think the best place to look would be for individuals imprisoned for failure to file. Here is what I believe to be the pertinent part of the tax code on failure to file.
The IRS has a page on Nonfiler Investigations: http://www.irs.gov/uac/Nonfiler-Investigations-Criminal-Investigation-(CI).
All the examples I have thus far looked have more tacked on than purely failure to file. I'm hoping someone has some examples off the top of their head.
Edit: Bonus points for people who aren't famous or specifically challenged the government.
