Fat Joe Turns Himself Into Jail For Tax Evasion

And for Fat Joe's next magic trick, he turned himself into…jail! Hmm effectively, that was anti-climactic, and hardly magical.

Fat Joe officially checked himself into the custody of the Federal Detention Center in Miami right now, where he will serve the next 4 months!
Pro: it's in Miami! Yay! Con: it's a jail in Miami. Boo!

In addition to these 4 months, which was reduced down from a two year sentence, Fat Joe will have to play a $ 15,000 fine, and face a a single-year supervised release.

And more most likely than not, he'll have to sign up for a membership to turbotax.com.
