Pro golfer Jim Thorpe sentenced for failing to pay

Post by rogfulton »

Pro golfer Jim Thorpe, currently on the Senior PGA tour was recently sentenced to one year in jail, 3 years supervised release, 200 hours community service and restitution. I found the info at http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE6 ... sportsNews but there is probably more info available than this short article. He had failed to file returns for 2002, 2003 and 2004. I couldn't decide where to post this, please move it appropriately. :oops:
