Sixth Circuit Disallows Fool For A Client Defense

Sixth Circuit Disallows Fool For A Client Defense

Many years ago when I was working in the hotel/restaurant industry, I remember a restaurant manager talking about how it was important to have good cash controls to avoid people being led into temptation and harming themselves.  I remember that when I think about the OID fraud.  It should never have worked at all.  Now we have people deservedly serving long prison sentences for being idiots.  It’s very sad.

Exactly What Kind Of A Criminal Might Lois Lerner Be?

It shall be unlawful for any officer or employee of the United States or any person described in section 6103 (n) (or an officer or employee of any such person), or any former officer or employee, willfully to disclose to any person, except as authorized in this title, any return or return information (as defined in section 6103 (b)). Any violation of this paragraph shall be a felony punishable upon conviction by a fine in any amount not exceeding $5,000, or imprisonment of not more than 5 years, or both, together with the costs of prosecution, and if such offense is committed by any officer or employee of the United States, he shall, in addition to any other punishment, be dismissed from office or discharged from employment upon conviction for such offense.

To demand more in the name of morals is mere cant.
