Red Jacket Firearms mod?
That is how they got Capone - undeclared income!There’s a bunch of dumb sumbitches at the IRS.
This has always been the case. I'm not sure why it's worthy of a news story.IRS says income from stolen goods and illegal activities must be reported on taxes

Well, yeah, but that's not really in play here.There’s a bunch of dumb sumbitches at the IRS.
That's part of it.It's a penalty multiplier. They can also go after pot dealers on tax evasion because they're not buying the tax stamps for marijuana. Same deal here. Not that thieves are being held accountable for their crimes lately anyway, but if one was and it rose to the level of a felony...this would be an option for extra jail time.
That's not the case.... I doubt they will prosecute the income tax evasion.
... the criminal penalties for unauthorized disclosure are too severe.
The recently made, unpunished unauthorized disclosures that have been in the news have done more to shake my faith in our government than almost anything else.Unless the unauthorized disclosure involves certain Republican politicians and Presidents. There's always that caveat.

The IRS has held disclosure laws to be a sacred trust since right after Watergate. That seems to have broken down, at least in part.
The level of corruption that requires is beyond my ability to comprehend.
I hope the IRS isn't that corrupt. Under Obama, the DOJ was allowed to get it's hooks deeply into the IRS; that's how the Lerner scandal happened, for example. I fervently hope that the leaks came from DOJ personnel, not IRS personnel.
sad about Bruce WillisThe movie is "RED", by the way. Brilliant. It and its sequel are probably the last good Bruce Willis movies, and he's surrounded by a hell of a cast.

Yeah. It took Watergate to root the corruption out of the IRS. The IRS lost all but one political appointee and was completely insulated from the rest of the government for a very long time after that. The disclosure laws that came out of Watergate were baked into the organization at every level, every job, every bit of training. Even the employees who didn't view them as holy writ wouldn't dare to break the rules.Unfortunately, once that kind of corruption is allowed to spread (or, more likely, cultivated) it doesn't go away easy. It's taken root in the DOJ, the IRS...multiple agencies that have become defacto extensions of the DNC.
