A negative outcome for all of us would be to have a 20+ year tax cheat end up owing nothing. You can bet the plutocracy will be watching this case closely.
Excuse me, but why do you believe Millard to be guilty of tax evasion? The fact that the WSJ claims him to be does not make it so. Here is some more information about Millard, you can find it by restricting your google search to items published before 9/1/11 - http://articles.latimes.com/1986-08-25/business/fi-16194_1_t...
It seems there was more talk about the fact that Saipan was trying get his money by changing their tax laws, not that he fled the US because he was wanted for tax evasion as the WSJ article makes it sound.

edit: for clarity
"why do you believe Millard to be guilty of tax evasion?"
Why wouldn't I believe it?
As you yourself mention, the WSJ said so.
At least one jury decided he did.
Judges have reviewed the facts and issued a number of gag order backed subpoenas.
50+ shell companies.
Disappears from view for 20 years.
etc.
Occam's razor, QED.
Cmon, you're going to bat for this guy with a 25 year old article that predates the "alleged" evasion?
