Clifford Smith, better known as Method Man, failed to file tax returns and owes $33,000, authorities say.


NEW YORK (CNN) -- Rapper and actor Clifford Smith, better known to fans as Method Man, was arrested Monday and faces charges of failing to pay taxes, the district attorney in Richmond County, New York, said.

Smith, 38, owes the state nearly $33,000 for New York State income tax returns that he did not file between 2004 and 2007, district attorney Daniel Donovan Jr. said in a statement.
The Grammy-winning rapper, an original member of the Wu-Tang Clan, was arrested at his home on Staten Island. He faces a felony charge of repeated failure to file taxes and a misdemeanor charge of failure to pay tax.
The felony carries a sentence of up to four years in prison.
Smith was to appear at an arraignment in Staten Island Criminal Court on Monday.
Smith's attorney Peter Frankel was not immediately available to comment.

funny part is, if he filed and put that he made 0 he wouldn't be prosecuted for 04-06 since statue of limitation is only 3 years but since he didn't file at all SOL doesn't apply

I'm pretty sure tax evasion and/or tax fraud would still be worse than a failure to file taxes charge.
