A diverting read in the WSJ:

Tax deadbeats are finding someone actually reads their MySpace and Facebook postings: the taxman.
State revenue agents have begun nabbing scofflaws by mining information posted on social-networking Web sites, from relocation announcements to professional profiles to financial boasts.
In Minnesota, authorities were able to levy back taxes on the wages of a long-sought tax evader after he announced on MySpace that he would be returning to his home town to work as a real-estate broker and gave his employer’s name. The state collected several thousand dollars, the full amount due.
Meanwhile, agents in Nebraska collected $2,000 from a deejay after he advertised on his MySpace page that he would be working at a big public party.

I always wonder why, when law enforcers discover some new trick, they cooperate when the press wants to write a story about it. Maybe the thinking is that people will read and say, Wow, I’d better pay my taxes — these guys are on Facebook! It seems more likely they’ll say, Man, I owe a lot of taxes — time to update my page with a lot of junk information and flee the state.
