Most of the time I would not comment on something like this …
but the TMZ headline got my attention: “Gary Busey: I got 300 VHS Tapes to My Name …and 5 Pairs of Moccasins.”
“Gary Busey has virtually no money left from his once-thriving Hollywood career -- but he has amassed an impressive collection of worthless junk ... including a bounty of cassette tapes and broken instruments ... this according to new docs obtained by TMZ.
TMZ broke the story ... Busey recently filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy ... and according to new docs Gary filed in federal bankruptcy court, Gary says he owes $508,600.96 in various debts.
According to the docs, Busey claims his main creditor is Uncle Sam ... admitting he stiffed the government out of $451k in state and federal taxes from 1998 to 2009.
Problem is ... Gary claims he only has $26,225 in personal assets ... including $1,200 in various bank accounts and a $7,000 security deposit with his landlord. Gary then lists EVERYTHING he owns ... including:…”
“William Gary Busey[1] (born June 29, 1944), best known as Gary Busey, is an American film and stage actor, and artist. He has appeared in a large variety of films, as well as making regular appearances on Gunsmoke, Walker, Texas Ranger, Law & Order, and Entourage. He received an Academy Award nomination for Best Actor in 1978 for his role in The Buddy Holly Story…”
He has had some great movie rolls. He was in a motorcycle accident in 1988 and was not wearing a helmet. He is reported to have received permanent brain damage. He has had a number of legal issues starting in 1995.
Sounds like he needs someone to look after him. The story says that he makes $19K a month and spends $22K a month.
Something I do not understand is why is it that these people end up not paying taxes. When I worked the government always got my money first and then when I filed a tax return I got my some of my money back. If you win money at a casino they take part for taxes and give you the rest. If you win a lottery the same thing happens.
But these “stars” seem to get millions and often then refuse to pay taxes.
In Gary Busey’s case he may not have paid because of his brain damage and that may keep him out of jail but the government is still going to try and get their money.
Gary Busey endorsed Donald Trump for President and called President Obama and his administration a “con job.” I guess that shows you the sort of people for Donald Trump.
