n 1983, he filed for bankruptcy with proceedings continuing at least through 1989.^[18] The IRS filed tax liens against Redd Foxx's property for income taxes he owed for the years 1983 to 1986 totaling $755,166.21. On November 28, 1989, the IRS seized his home in Las Vegas and seven vehicles (including a 1927 Model T, a 1975 Panther J72,^[19] a 1983 Zimmer, and a Vespa motor scooter) to pay the taxes which by then had grown to $996,630, including penalties and interest. Agents also seized "$12,769 in cash and a dozen guns, including a semiautomatic pistol," among some 300 items in total, reportedly leaving only Foxx's bed.^[20][21][22] Foxx stated that the IRS "took my necklace and the ID bracelet off my wrist and the money out of my pocket ... I was treated like I wasn't human at all."^[23] It has been reported that at the time of his death in 1991 Foxx owed more than $3.6 million in taxes.^[24]

I met this guy at the entrance of the MGM in 1985. He was cool. Foul mouth, but cool. Too bad our government chased him down the way they did. I think he got some very bad financial advice along the way which got him buried with the IRS.
