Wyclef Jean owes IRS $2.1M

Singer and supposed altruist Wyclef Jean (AKA Nel Wyclef Jean) has tax liens against him totaling  more than $2M and spread over several years.
His charitable foundation has been operating at a deficit and, despite warnings concerning his trustworthiness, collected money for Haitian relief after the earthquake.
Jean is also apparently serious about a run for the Presidency in Haiti.

Yeah, I can see that.
He is already apparently corrupt, which fits with the stereotypical Haitian government official, and he can use the presidency to leverage his case with the IRS while looting the Haitian treasury.
