Still claiming residence in Florida for tax purposes? (No state income tax down here.) Anyone know if he's filed for the homestead exemption- Florida's version of Prop 13- if so there are additional tax advantages and it seems to be pretty rare for anyone to get busted for a fraudulent homestead exemption if you're not actually using it as your primary residence.

Everyone technically lives someplace for tax purposes... even I have an address in the US although I moved away 5 1/2 years ago.

So here's what bugs me about that article: it appears to be half feature reporting and half fiction.
For example:
Did the reporter interview those 'jowly faces?' Or is the reporter making up their 'judgments?'
Yes, i know, i know, this is the magazine that allowes entire stories to be made up so I can't really hold them to much in terms of journalistic integrity. But really, it reads like third person fiction to me. Much of the article does.

Kinda like how it was stated as a fact in RS that Jackie was raped.
Ben Bradlee is rolling over in his grave.
Look, if RS wants to engage in fiction they should just say so.

In addition to no state income tax and liberal homestead rules, Florida offers much broader exemptions in civil and bankruptcy cases than do other states. These were given public prominence back in the '90s when former baseball commissioner Bowie Kuhn sold his Ridgewood NJ estate and bought a similar mansion in Ponte Verde Beach Fl, in preparation for his subsequent bankruptcy filing.
