--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.

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.

5 million US$ (2014)”
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.”
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.
