| Feb 10, 2021 at 6:32 | comment | added | grovkin | @Trish but why is this relevant to the question? | |
| Feb 10, 2021 at 6:31 | comment | added | grovkin | @PattrickT not having the money is not a defense against such imprisonment? | |

| Feb 9, 2021 at 15:17 | comment | added | Trish | @grovkin it doesn't matter that he can't pay it, it matters that if he ever told, he still would owe the government lots and lots of money for contempt of court. | |
| Feb 9, 2021 at 14:13 | comment | added | grovkin | @Trish is that relevant? I believe debtor prisons have been outlawed. You can be imprisoned for failing to pay money to the state if you owe it and you have it. But you can't be imprisoned for failing to pay it because you are unable to pay. | |
