Tokyo housewife gets that money

Sunday 16 September 2007 @ 7:33 am | By Random J 3 Comments

Japanese woman is flossy flossy 60 year old Japanese house wife Yukiko Ikebe made 400 million yen (roughly ?1.7 million, $3.5 million) in trading in foreign exchange markets! (Wow!!) But recently she got got fined 34 million yen for evading tax. (Oh crap!) Ikebe-san used relatives’ names to make her gains look smaller and therefore avoid paying tax.

Yukiko Ikebe was reported as saying she spent the money on jewellery and kimono’s. With 400 million yen in her pocket you can bet she was dripping in enough ice to make her body freeze and that she was buying 100% silk kimono’s lined with Panda fur - all capped off with a pair of Gucci Geta sandals. What she did was illegal. But we all know we would’ve done the same damn thing if it meant we could pocket that kind of money over a period of time. Getting fined 34 million yen isn’t even a big deal, she’s still got over 300 million to mess around with!

    Its like winning the lottery and getting taxed on that, too. Except more legal, of course.

    Apparently in this case, crime does pay.
