They got Capone Igor for tax evasion

June 12, 2009

Frankenstein would have been a different story if the peasants that came after the Monster and Dr. Frankenstein and his faithful body-snatcher, Igor, were IRS agents:

A former mortuary worker convicted of carving up and selling cadavers donated to the University of California, Los Angeles medical school was sentenced to 10 years in prison Thursday and ordered to pay more than $1.7 million in fines, restitution and unpaid taxes.
Jurors had found Ernest Nelson, 51, guilty of eight counts, including grand theft and tax evasion after a trial that detailed how he and Henry Reid, the former director of UCLA's Willed Body Program, conspired to sell body parts from donated cadavers to enrich themselves.

I'm picturing angry agents with laptops and briefcases storming the castle, but only between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., and not on the lunch hour.
