Browns' retirement planning completed

July 28, 2009

I failed to notice until this morning that tax holdouts Ed and Elaine Brown were convicted on weapons charges while I was out on vacation. The Browns had retreated to their fortress-like New Hampshire home after their tax evasion convictions, holding out for months until federal agents disguised as sympathizers arrested the couple.

It's probably good that they are used to fortress-like accomodations:

No sentencing date has been set, but one of charges alone carries a mandatory 30-year sentence. Both Browns are in their 60s. They are already serving 5-year sentences for tax evasion.
