Ok, HOW is it possible the IRS lets THIS much money go out without multiple reviews and verification of the return. This sounds like they paid off someone on the inside.

You're lucky they didn't wait two or three years and notify you after they compounded the interest, penalties, and late charges.

Just wonder what smarty father/daughter (Bonnie Clyde) Exit B plan was to escape the long arm and fleet foot of the U.S.revenooer man

With mucho dinero; be welcomed in most banana republics....

While on the run, might have to trade wearing such a distinctive Moroccan Fez head gear for a hide and seek Sombrero with Sunglasses

Better,for them, that they should up and pay the man the $2.

The irs should be charged for mismanagement. Seriously....opps! Where did I send that 300,000$ refund! Is no one watching the register? I worry if I miscalculated my tax form ...but to deliberately falsify then defend based on the lie. Wow....just wow.

Did it say that they will have to pay back the funds

Obviously, not an admirable, but they did bust a 'cute' move

Nevertheless, can't go anywhere they will have to owe up in more ways then $$$$

Career Crime, just doesn't pay in long term

I have a relative in law enforcement and boy does he have some of the craziest and grossest work stories.

What kind of logic is it to believe you aren't obligated to pay taxes but you can accept a tax refund

The IRS paid them $3.4 million before the agency realized the pair had never purchased a winning ticket, prosecutors say.

Maybe I did it wrong for many years, but any refund was based on the amount withheld minus the amount of the tax rate. I guess if I hadn't included my W-2s, I could exaggerate the with holdings hoping nobody at the IRS noticed, but I didn't want to spend 20 years in Federal prison.

He was promptly provided a new pair of bracelets, issued 2 invitations to the district court and given a non-constitutional towing bill.................................... [ More ]

Like most sovereign citizen groups, Moorish sovereign ideology breeds anti-government, anti-law enforcement sentiment through its radical ideology which can inspire members to intimidate, threaten, and harass government officials and law enforcement officers. Moorish sovereigns are also known to produce fraudulent legal documents which they use against perceived enemies: especially publically elected officials they view as corrupt. Several recent incidents highlight Moorish sovereigns' propensit... [ More ]

A Florida father and daughter claimed the government owed them $175 million in tax refunds on their lottery winnings. The IRS paid them $3.4 million before the agency realized the pair had never purchased a winning ticket, prosecutors say.

Now, the Broward County pair, who say they're aboriginal indigenous Moorish Americans immune to government authority, are on trial in a Palm Beach federal courtroom accused of tax fraud.
