Nicolas Cage Passes the Buck on Money Problems

Recently, Nicolas Cage found himself in hot water with the IRS for allegedly failing to pay some hefty taxes. We're not talking about pocket change either - Nic owes the government over $6 million! Just weeks ago, we heard talk that Nicolas, 45, was attempting to sell of some of his many properties to clear up the debt. Now he's essentially passing the buck on this problem.

According to People, the well paid actor filed a lawsuit against his own business manager, Samuel J. Levin. The suit claims that Samuel, "lined his [own] pockets with several million dollars in business management fees while sending Cage down a path toward financial ruin."

Who do you think is really to blame in this situation? We'll leave that up to the courts as the case is scheduled to go before a judge in February 2010.
