Asking How Sharpton Pays for Those Suits; Case Offers Glimpse of His Finances (FLASHBACK!!)
NY Times ^ | 12/21/2000 | ALAN FEUER

--SNIP-- The finances of the Rev. Al Sharpton have a somewhat troubled history. He was indicted on charges of income tax fraud and stealing from charitable donors in 1989, but was eventually acquitted at a trial. In 1993, he pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of failing to file a tax return for 1986. His eponymous promotional company has no official documents on record with the state. As recently as two years ago, he drew no salary, but he still manages to send his daughters to an expensive and respected private school.

Mr. Sharpton has always been studiously circumspect when talking about his pocketbook in public, yet this month he suddenly announced that he could not afford to pay a judgment entered against him in the Tawana Brawley defamation case.

This article is well worth the time reading. Sharpy is the original Gruber. It speaks volumes about the Democratic Party that he is a top spokesman.

I hope this reporter has a bodyguard, or this story will be the last one the reporter will ever write. Sharpton has a lot of friends in both low and high places.

Sharpton got his suits at the Hadassa store. You know, the one Twana Brawley’s friends and family burned down. The one owned by the filthy Jew interlopers.

It was written in 2000. All the recent Sharpton tax problems jogged my memory. That is why I posted this article.

Rangle, jesse, sharpton look at me I can break the law and get away with it because I'm in the media eye, now we have to work on social justice so everyone of color can subvert the law. We see it now Holder removes death sentence in white cop killing, black youth are now allowed to rob convenience stores without arrest, black protesters can loot without reprisal, marauding black youth can attack pedestrians, the knock out game is a sport. any questions?

The answer is in the yesterday’s NY Times article:

“He said he had no assets, save for a watch and a ring. Everything else, including some of his suits, was owned by a for-profit business, Revals Communications, he said.”

"“He said he had no assets, save for a watch and a ring. Everything else, including some of his suits, was owned by a for-profit business, Revals Communications, he said.”"

No assets? Doesn't he get paid handsomely by his TV show?

Plus with NAN, he's GOT to be making a lot of $.

How long would any other "charity" be around if the CEO was taking 95% of the "donations" and buying suits for him?

Why the IRS wasn't all over this guy's a$$ 20 years ago is a mystery.

It's still a mystery why he hasn't been behind bars for the last decade.

Generally FBI snitches don't get to go out and start grifting again.
