Has anyone who has properly rescinded his or her SSN ever been convicted of income tax evasion?
Not as far as I know.
Tax evasion requires that you acknowledge a tax debt to the IRS and then refuse to pay it. The simplest and most effective defense against a charge of tax evasion is that you never intentionally did anything wrong; that you believed in and based your position on what you considered to be reliable information. Against such a defense, nobody has ever been convicted of tax evasion.
