RONALD ISLEY TAX FRAUD
Isley ripped off his own band members.
Isley could be sentenced up to twenty-six years in prison because tax evasion. Isley is lead singer of the Isley Brothers. The songs that might sound familiar are "This Old Heart of Mine" or "Summer Breeze". Isley had always ordered cash at concerts and he took other member's of his band royalty checks. His fate will be decided in January. He has six counts against him. He has been getting away with this for years because he was able to put his big purchases in his former wife's name. In addition, he was able to cash other band members royalty checks because they all had the same name. Just last year the Isley Brothers album was nominated for a Grammy.
