More important, he says though, is that the government has been following him around for five years- -taking surveillance photos, quizzing his friends, hoping to prove he was selling drugs.
When that failed, he says, the government sought tax evasion charges to justify what HE says is a two- and -three -quarter -million dollar investigation.
