Instead of reporting the $380,000 per year that he had earned as an accountant, Mark Pybrum, from Santa Barbara, Calif., claimed that money had been earned by his charitable organization for marital counseling, the Foundation for Harmony and Happiness.

In court, prosecutors argued that the foundation wasn't a charity and that Pybrum was simply trying to evade the $1 million in taxes he owed between 1999 and 2002. With that extra money, Pybrum allegedly rented a mansion and bought a fishing boat, an SUV and a plane. He was sentenced to three years in prison in March.
