Now he’s perfectly qualified to be a reporter for MSNBC.

When you trade, which I did for a living for many years. you have 2 options. You can have tax taken out with some firms or no tax is taken out and you pay your own when you file. No need for the IRS to investigate. The trading shop sends the amounts traded straight to the IRS and it is up to you to reconcile the amounts when you file taxes. The IRS used to get huge checks from me.
I figured the story was a hoax. You need a large amount of cash to even start daytrading anymore.

Sure glad they vetted Obama like this before 2008. And uncovered his
homosexual for drugs relations, along with his rampant drugs abuse and
gang activity. /s

These days, the truth doesn’t matter.

I remember when I was young and innocent. I trusted Santa Claus and the Media.
