In this quote, Catherine La Croix is drawing a comparison between infamous criminals Al Capone and Heidi Fleiss, and noting what ultimately led to their downfall legally.

While both Capone and Fleiss engaged in other illegal activities like murder and running a prostitution ring respectively, La Croix points out they were ultimately convicted and imprisoned for tax evasion – failing to properly report and pay taxes on their illicit income.

The best interpretation of the quote is that La Croix is cautioning that even if one engages in undetected unlawful behavior, neglecting tax obligations creates a legal vulnerability, as it was the tax charges that secured the prosecution and punishment of these notorious lawbreakers when other crimes could not be proven.
