SEATTLE -- Former investment guru,
author and financial seminar leader Wade Cook and his wife have been
sentenced in a tax evasion case.
Cook was sentenced Thursday
in federal court to seven years and four months in prison for
repeatedly defrauding the Internal Revenue Service.
U.S.
District Judge Thomas Zilly also ordered Cook to pay $3.75 million in
back taxes on roughly $9.5 million of underreported income generated by
sales of Cook's financial advice books, tapes and seminars.
In
February, Wade Cook was convicted of tax evasion, filing false tax
returns and obstructing justice. The jury was deadlocked on all counts
against his wife Laura, who kept the books.

 The Caribbean is a playground of the rich and famous. It is also seen as business-friendly, so it may come as a surprise to learn that some Caribbean countries have strongly restrictive, almost socialist-style housing market systems.
In a recent study, the Global Property Guide examined the landlord and tenant systems of 19 Caribbean countries and territories in terms of rent control, security deposits and tenant eviction.
With contributions from local law firms, each economy was rated as strongly pro-tenant, pro-tenant, neutral, pro-landlord or strongly pro-landlord.
