Poliselli sounds like a stand up guy:

Polselli was sentenced to 27 months in federal prison in June 2003 and made to pay $2.9 million in restitution on three counts of felony tax evasion.

He pleaded guilty to charges of failing to account for and pay withholding and Social Security taxes collected from employees, as well as failing to pay income taxes or file returns on gross income he earned in 1995 and 1996 as owner of the Plaza Hotel in Southfield, Mich., according to federal court records.
He was released from prison in December 2004, according to the Federal Bureau of Prisons.
New California Hotel's website confirms that Polselli spent 300 days in prison "related to payroll tax" and refers to it as "the darkest moment in his life."
Another hotel investment company with which Polselli and his wife, Hanna Karcho, were affiliated -- Club Metro Investments LLC, which bought The Metropolitan Hotel near the Detroit metro airport -- declared bankruptcy in March 2012 and reorganized, according to online court filings.
