Bankrate: You had some disasters with your business affairs -- what happened?
David Crosby: I had an accountant -- half of the worst stories in Hollywood start with "I had an accountant." I had an accountant who said he paid my taxes and didn't. And the IRS came after me. That accountant wound up in jail, and I wound up down $1.2 million to the government. They wanted to take my house and stuff. It was very hard -- it was a long, tough fight, climbing my way up. But I did it. It took a lot of work to pay it back.
Bankrate: So the government doesn't account for a crooked accountant?
David Crosby: Absolutely not. Their take is, you hired him, it's your fault. That's how they treat it.
