MicroStrategy’s Michael Saylor faces tax fraud case in Washington

Tech billionaire says he moved his home to Miami Beach a decade ago, while lawsuit alleges he has resided in District of Columbia without paying income taxes

The District of Columbia attorney general sued Michael Saylor, the founder and chair of software intelligence firm MicroStrategy, alleging he dodged more than $25m in district taxes.

The lawsuit alleges that Saylor has resided in the District of Columbia for more than a decade without paying DC income taxes. The suit says he avoided income taxes by fraudulently claiming to be a resident of other, lower-tax jurisdictions.
