ANOTHER FAILURE TO PERSUADE

June 09, 2005

persuaders.jpgFor somebody known professionally as a "Persuader," Robert Poindexter isn't being very persuasive.

About two weeks ago Mr. Poindexter, an R&B songwriter, lost a Tax Court case involving his 2000 taxes. Now he's lost again. On monday, the Second Circuit Court of Appeals rejected his appeal of a Tax Court defeat for 1994 and 1996. He apparently tried to avoid taxes on the grounds that the record company isn't paying him the royalties he is entitled to -- the same grounds rejected by the Tax Court for 2000.

If he still has one of these outfits, maybe he can do a Star Trek episode.
