DON'T STEAL FROM GOVT S.S.

A SAN MARTIN COUPLE, WHO ALLEGEDLY SET UP OFFSHORE CORPORATIONS (TO HIDE THEIR INCOME FROM THE SALE OF STOCK OPTIONS), HAS BEEN INDICTED ON TAX-EVASION CHARGES. THE GOVERNMENT SAYS THAT 57 YEAR-OLD MICHAEL WATTS, AND 52 YEAR-OLD JAN WATTS, SHOULD HAVE PAID MORE THAN 780 THOUSAND DOLLARS IN TAXES IN 1997. IF CONVICTED ON THE FEDERAL CHARGES, THE WATTS? COULD SPEND UP TO 5 YEARS IN PRISON, AND PAY A 250 THOUSAND DOLLAR FINE.
