No, it didn't. Hunter committed the kind of willful and knowing tax evasion that can quite often land you in jail, even if you pay it back afterwards. Generally speaking, if you deliberately don't pay your taxes, a "normal" defendant can very much expect to face the very real possibility of criminal prosecution - and a jail sentence of years, not months. Even a rich and famous person can expect that - Wesley Snipes did more that two years in prison for his tax evasion.

Yes, it did. There are plenty of those guys who never see jail. Most of the time if they agree to the civil fraud penalty the criminal part isn't pursued. The larger it is, the more likely to go to court - his was not that big. Perhaps I'm used to the first prosecutor. The prosecutors also like to go after crooks. What is prosecuted is a just a small part of what's there. Hunter Biden, from what I can see, isn't a crook, or at least is reforming. It looks like Snipes co-defendants were crooks, and that's the rub, because Snipes was convicted of misdemeanor charges.
