it was a woman in the article and NO she did NOT say it was to avoid taxes, it was to avoid extra paperwork/scrutiny..... unless you are talking about someone else in the article that I missed?It'd be one thing if they had iron clad proof it was drug money,but this appears to be out right theft.
The guy in the OP article indicated he was doing it to evade taxes. Kind of hard to call yourself a victim because you got busted by the IRS evading taxes in my mind.
The man talking about trying to give his daughter money for college while avoiding taxes
Like I said..if they can PROVE the confiscation is related to criminal activity I dont have a problem with it.
I'm more concerned about it's potential for abuse. And there are examples out there that are pretty convincing that the abuse is happening.
