Top 10 Tax Dodgers

April 15 means it's time for most of us to give the IRS its annual pound of flesh. "Most of us" being the operative term — a few delinquents try to fool the tax collector, but it usually only works for so long. Here are 10 of the biggest (and most famous) tax dodgers.

Walter Anderson

Walter Anderson doesn't have the same cachet as other names on this list, but he makes up for it with the sheer scope of his crime. A telecommunications entrepreneur, Anderson strung together an elaborate network of offshore companies and aliases to hide money. The result? More than $200 million in taxes owed to the Federal Government and the District of Columbia. To date, it's the largest tax-evasion scheme ever, and in 2005, it all came crashing down. Anderson pleaded guilty and was ordered to pay nearly $400 million after penalties and fees.
