Tax Fugitive Vikram

Vikram famously never filed his tax returns. His thinking was that since he surely didn't owe any, he didn't consider filing important. (For those of you keeping score, Vikram comes from a family of illustrious tax lawyers in India. He probably knows whereof he speaks). This went on for a long time, until he came visiting last year. He finally ponied up a few hundred bucks for a tax preparer and had all his 7 years of taxes filed. Turned out he was due a huge refund. Unfortunately, he didn't actually get any. He also owed various cities and states many hundreds of dollars in parking and other driving related tickets. Apparently they garnished his IRS refunds to cover them.
