Apparently you can't run to Australia and avoid paying taxes in the United States.  Hollywood.com is reporting that Michelle William's father has been thrown into jail in Australia for failure to pay U.S. taxes.  Michelle is best known for her supporting role in the gay cowboy film "Brokeback Mountain" in which she starred with current boyfriend Heath Ledger.

Oddly enough, Larry Williams was arrested at Sydney airport on Saturday en route to give a presentation at a series of financial seminars.  Williams is a world-renowned share-trading guru who travels extensively revealing his stock market secrets and is even known as "the million dollar man" in stock market circles.

He is accused of creating false documents and using multiple bank accounts to evade his huge tax bill.
