This week Reynolds was sentenced to a year and a half in federal prison for "subscribing to false tax returns" times two counts, according to the office.
|
Reynolds appeared to be an infomercial-level douche who posed next to Lamborghinis to pitch the tax-dodging lifestyle.
|
His companies included Repackaging America, Inc. and Incorporating You, Inc. His advice included creating corporations in order to reduce individuals' income taxes.
|
Reynolds also placed assets - such as automobiles, recreational vehicles and at least one vacation home - in the names of the corporations. IRS investigators found evidence that Reynolds used corporate checks to pay workers, including a person hired to completely redesign his Yorba Linda home, for which he ordered a custom, $80,000 bathroom.
|
We hear the bathrooms in federal prison are quite minimal, architecturally speaking.

Today LeBron James starts the playoff march toward what could be his seventh straight appearance in the NBA Finals.
|
Earlier this week the country's most famous athlete continued to use his super-sized platform to make a tangible difference in education.
|
The four-time NBA MVP announced that his foundation, the LeBron James Family Foundation, and the Akron Public Schools, will create the new I PROMISE School.
|
While the school will be new, James' efforts in education are not. With a focus on stemming the high school dropout rates in his hometown of Akron, James started the I PROMISE program in 2011.
|
The program identifies third graders in Akron's public schools who have already fallen behind academically. The foundation's program provides mentors, after school help, and resources for parents combined with a weeklong summer activity to visibly improve Akron. One summer, the group renovated 23 yards in the city. Each year, the program culminates with a trip to the Cedar Point rollercoaster amusement park, dubbed the "We Are Family Reunion."
|
In 2015, the evolution of the program brought the promise of a free college education. In a partnership between James' foundation and the University of Akron thousands of full scholarship will be offered to students who complete the I Promise Program. The first class is slated to attend Akron in 2021.
|
The current plan is to open the I PROMISE School with third and fourth graders in 2018 and then add first and second grade classes the following year. By 2022, the school will be filled with first through eighth graders.
|
The academic approach will utilize the Akron Public School's curriculum with a focus on science, technology, engineering and mathematics, better known in education circles as STEM. The I PROMISE School will also offer hands-on, problem-based learning while drawing on the foundation's "We Are Family" philosophy to include students and their families in the process.
|
In making the announcement James said establishing the school was a dream.
|
"For us to be able to do something like this, and bring this today to these kids, that gives these kids the infrastructure, that gives them the mentors, the leaders, and the people that are going to be around them every day on a day to day basis that can make their dreams become reality, that’s what means more to me than anything," he said.
|
Last year, James led the Cavaliers to an NBA Finals win, ending Cleveland's championship drought. But perhaps his greatest win will be the medical doctor, physicist, or entrepreneur that arises out of the opportunity of education he is providing.

The Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria (MACBAN), has launched a N30 million endowment fund for the purchase of land, building of classes and Hostels for its Miyetti Allah Academy.
|
The academy, according to MACBAN Chairman in Nasarawa State, Alhaji Muhammadu Hussaini, is located at Sabon-Gida in Kokona Local Government of the state.
|
“The Fulani people used to be synonymous with cattle rearing and farming. We have been so preoccupied with the two ventures that we forgot education, which is very important,” Husainin told the News Agency of Nigeria at the launch held at Sabon-Gida on Sunday.
|
He said that the lack of education was responsible for the incessant clashes with farmers, hence the need to establish schools for the upcoming generation.
|
“We started the project sometime ago, but we have not achieved much because of lack resources to continue. We want government to support us to complete the school,” he said.
|
Hussaini said that the school became necessary because most of the Fulani children were not enrolled into schools.
|
“Our children do not attend school; that situation has made us unhappy.
|
“Most of our children have resorted to street begging which has led to high level of indiscipline, especially in the towns.
|
“If they can get more education, they will have a better future,” he said.
|
He particularly regretted that most of the youths were into drugs because of illiteracy, saying that the school would minimise indolence and stem the tide of criminality.
|
Also speaking, National Coordinator/Secretary General of the Academy, Mr Retson Tedheke, said that the living standard of the Fulani people would be improved if they were educated.
|
“We can no longer tell our children not to go to school because the future of the Fulani community lies in how well the younger ones are educated.
|
“President Muhammadu Buhari is an example of what a Fulani-speaking man can become if he gets the right education.
|
“Fulani people are intelligent and industrious. A Fulani man can be placed in charge of billions of Naira but will never steal from it. It shows that they are very honest people with good character.
|
“All the young Fulani man needs is education. This is what we want to achieve with this project,” he said.
|
We live in a nation increasingly divided on racial, ethnic, and political lines. Much of the leading media of our day focuses on the agendas that drive these divisions, but little is said about the phenomena itself, or the underlying social justice issues.

Brian is one of the most successful civil plaintiff attorneys in California in the field of police misconduct and use of deadly force by police.
