 Bart goes to the bank but is informed that there is nothing wrong with simply stamping the check. However, the stamp makes the teller suspicious. The teller asks to be excused, and within a few hours (with Bart standing waiting for the teller to return), comes back to tell Bart that the check has caused Krusty to be arrested for tax fraud. It was revealed that Krusty's money was being held in an illegal account in the Cayman Islands (with no small help to the accounts manager saying he couldn't talk about Krustys "secret illegal account.")
-To pay for his tax evasion, Krusty's salary will be reduced drastically. The repayment eats into all corners of his empire. [[The Krusty the Clown Show]] is scaled back drastically (no money exists in the budget for props, costumes or [[Sideshow Mel]]), the IRS takes over ownership of the [[Krusty Burger]] chain, and Krusty's valuables are auctioned off.

 Shortly afterward, Krusty is seen flying his private plane erratically, causing it to crash. When no remains are found, Krusty is declared dead. Bart is wracked with guilt, feeling terrible that he brought on the death of his idol. However, over the next couple of days, Bart is shocked when he sees a man looking suspiciously like Krusty. With Lisa's help, they soon find out that Krusty had faked his death, and assumed the new identity of [[Rory B. Bellows]]. Confronting him at the Springfield Docks, Krusty claims he is happy being a salvager, but Bart and Lisa convince him otherwise.
