The LA County District Attorney charged comedian Carlos Mencia with 12 felony counts of tax evasion for failing to report more than $8 million in earnings from his entertainment company. The charges are straightforward: income that should have been reported wasn't.
This is a high-income tax case. Mencia earned substantial money and didn't pay taxes on it. Twelve counts for $8 million suggests prosecutors are charging aggressively, possibly to encourage a plea. Entertainment industry tax cases are common, but this one's scale makes it visible. The charges don't involve complexity or disputed deductions—just unreported income.
