Hunter Biden, the son of President Joe Biden, is grappling with a series of tax charges, shedding light on a lifestyle marked by extravagant spending on what prosecutors describe as “constant partying.” The indictment in California has disclosed a staggering $872,000 spree on various indulgences, ranging from prostitutes and online pornography to luxury cars and a $10,000 sex club membership.
The charges, totaling nine, span the years 2016 to 2019 and coincide with a period where Hunter Biden has publicly acknowledged battling alcohol and crack cocaine addiction. Prosecutors allege that the expenditures covered “drugs, escorts and girlfriends, luxury hotels and rental properties, exotic cars, clothing, and other items of a personal nature, in short, everything but his taxes.”
The indictment reveals that Biden evaded a total of $1.4 million in taxes, potentially facing a 17-year prison sentence if convicted. The charges include three felony counts and six misdemeanors, all related to the willful evasion of tax payments.
Biden’s attorney, Abbe Lowell, has asserted that his client has settled his tax debts and is now sober. Lowell criticizes the charges, suggesting that if Hunter’s last name were different, legal actions might not have been pursued. He emphasizes the lack of new evidence after a five-year investigation and asserts that the charges in California and Delaware were piled on despite a previous agreement for a lesser plea deal.
The detailed breakdown in the indictment exposes a wide range of alleged payments, encompassing substantial sums for various women, clothing, educational purposes, health expenses, and miscellaneous retail purchases. The total listed payments amount to a staggering $4,907,813.
The charges have brought to light Hunter Biden’s complex financial dealings, with significant income flowing from his company, Owasco, PC, and other ventures like Skaneateles. Additionally, his relationships with businesses in Hong Kong and China, along with his involvement with Burisma Holdings Limited, where he received a substantial annual salary starting at $1 million in 2014, are part of the intricate web of financial transactions. The case raises questions about the intersection of personal and business affairs, adding a layer of complexity to the ongoing legal proceedings.
