Thus 60 % do, particularly if the amount evaded is of the magnitude that Hunter had to pay

You're just guessing boater.

In fact, the IRS cannot send you to jail, or file criminal charges against you, for failing to pay your taxes. There are stipulations to this rule though. If you fail to pay the amount you owe because you don't have enough money, you could be in the clear. But if your reason for not paying is because you didn't file or you committed a form of tax fraud (you intentionally lied on your return or tried to deceive the IRS), you could find yourself behind bars. (Some law site source)

In addition the IRS likes to see a 3 year pattern, with the same fraud being committed in all three years. You have to get the IRS District Counsel to accept the case criminally - hard to do.
