XO may have already covered this. This dood bought a Ferrari under some sort of tax haven shell corp in Montana and never paid the sales tax to Williamson County.
His complaint is that they never sent him a letter saying it was owed. He also complains that he pays a lot of taxes already so this surcharge is ridiculous. The car was also destroyed in Texas somehow. But it's heavily implied that the car did spend considerable time in Tennessee.
He's also 'in the process' of purchasing property in Montana and therefore should be exempted. Also mentions having a Russian fiancée who lives in Dubai wtf.
This is all so crazy but it seems like he almost certainly bought a $400,000 car in Montana, drove it to Tennessee, and owes $30k in taxes. Instead of sending him a letter they just arrested him. Sounds like he's guilty and just pissed that his tax avoidance scheme didn't pan out. |
Date: December 1st, 2025 2:52 PM Author: bisexual lascivious masturbator mad-dog skullcap Seems ridiculous they got a prosecutor to sign off on a warrant for his arrest for owing taxes. and without even letting him know about it first.

Date: December 1st, 2025 2:54 PM Author: hairless nowag church He bought a car out of state, drove it to Tennessee, and paid no sales tax on it. He owed a 5 figure sum. He knew he owed this money.
Did he actually believe some bullshit he read on the internet about how you don't have to pay any sales tax if you buy a car in Montana? "I didn't know" is a pathetic excuse. He should have known.
State doesn't have to baby him. He should have known and he believed his own bullshit. He should pay up. He's a scumbag. |

Date: December 1st, 2025 2:58 PM Author: bisexual lascivious masturbator mad-dog skullcap Then the state's treasury dept should sue him civilly.
Tons of people don't pay what they owe. Tons of people aren't going to pay their electricity bills this month there. Tons of people are going to get parking tickets and ignore them. Tons of people are not going to declare things on their state tax returns. They know they owe the money. They don't get jailed for it. It is butthurt state employees who will never be able to afford a ferrari jealous of this guys wealth and jailing him for it. |

e.g. resident of tennessee buys a car from an illinois dealership but lies and claims he live in montana and submits a montana llc address. the dealership expects the buyer to take care of whatever taxes he owes to montana (which would be zero for a genuine montana resident.) |

Date: December 1st, 2025 6:36 PM Author: hairless nowag church It seems like he's bought dozens of luxury cars and blown them up in different ways in this manner. He buys them in different states and destroys them in different states. And then he sells the remains of the destroyed vehicle to his fans. Dude is just going around spending millions of vehicles and never paying tax on any of it. You would think he would just write it off as a business expense no? But I read that the actual business of YouTube videos of luxury cars being destroyed, and even the sale of the parts doesn't recoup the losses on the cars. Apparently he makes his real money with brand deals for alcohol and he actually promotes Sweet Baby James shitlaw. So the cars are a business loss for him but he's net positive on the brand deals. I don't get why he can't write off the cars as a business expense.
It might be hard for Tennessee to prove that the car was ever in Tennessee unless it's in a video there. Here's an interesting example. During COVID remote workers in Boston were told to stay home. So New Hampshire residents didn't claim any Massachusetts income tax. Mass tried to come after them but they claimed that because they live and work physically in NH they don't owe MA any money just because they used to work there before. Anyway the tax evaders won in court and didn't have to pay. Will be interesting to see if Tennessee argues that a dude who owns a car in another state has to pay the tax just because he's a resident half the year or whatever. |

Date: December 1st, 2025 7:02 PM Author: supple ocher love of her life they just write it off!
deducting something as a cost for income purposes doesn't change the tax you pay to acquire, register, etc. it. i'm sure he does write it off as a business expense, but that's a different tax.
in your example the people weren't in MA. he is in TN. proving that is unlikely to be an impediment. ime the tax man doesn't come this heavy unless it's a slam dunk. |

Lawyers with YouTube channels who discuss the issue basically settle on this as the ultimate reason to advise against it, I just can't square why an insurance company would get to hold your compliance with laws of registration against you (assuming you accurately tell them where you actually drive and house the vehicle, that would be an entirely separate issue).
