Porn Site Operator Jailed After $4.2 Million Tax Dodge

Francis Sharrak, who operated several porn sites out of Farmington Hills, Michigan, is being sent to prison for not paying six years of taxes. Cops say Sharrak racked up a $4.2 million tax bill but spent his porn earnings on gambling and leasing expensive cars instead of paying the feds.

Sharrak made his fortune in part by spamming email addresses with his sites, authorities say, and consulting for strip clubs. After the IRS tried to collect the money they were owed, Sharrak lied to them and tried to hide his money instead of paying up.
