It's probably that Billy Baxter, but I always thought of him more as a sports bettor.

"In the mid 1980's, I was in the courthouse on Booth Street in Reno, Nevada when Baxter took on the IRS over his "filing status," and every professional player owes a debt to Baxter for standing up to the IRS. His court case led to allowing professional gamblers to file as "professionals," with the ability to deduct expenses like any business professional. There is a lot of gamble in Baxter, and not even the IRS ever scared him. " - link

Same old story. They made millions of dollars, but are too greedy to get out before they get busted.
