Neways founder loses Supreme Court Appeal

November 04, 2008

The legal battle of the founders of the Neways multi-level marketing empire appears to have reached an end yesterday when the Supreme Court denied Leslie D. "Dee" Mower's petition for certiorari.

Ms. Mower and her former husband, Tom, were sentenced in 2006 on tax charges that involved the use of offshore businesses to conceal earnings.

Life since sentencing has been more unpleasant than prison normally is. Mr. Mower has been enjoined from using inside information from Neways to start a new business. Ms. Mower's new husband was murdered. Sometimes taxes aren't the worst thing in the world.
