i think his behavior in this instance should be scrutinized, mainly by his home state. is it really legal? as i said, i know similar actions by arkansas residents had them slapped with back taxes when their attempts at hiding purchases by tagging them out of state was shown to be illegal. also, the excuse that 'others do it' is no excuse at all. all should be held to the same standard, whether it's the purchase of a 7k aluminum boat, a 70k pleasure craft, or a 7 million dollar yacht. tax evasion is quite costly. no doubt everyone who engages in it thinks they're doing a legal thing, when many times they may find it is not.
