Since he was raided by the IRS about a year and a half ago, there's probably an indictment looming in his relatively near future.

Yes, and this is the same stuff evolution is made up of, halftuths, speculative B.S. wishful thinking...

Thank you for providing a perfect example of the idiocy of agendized science.

Really?

The fact is that Hovind was raided on 4/14/04. Seems he hasn't bothered to report some millions of dollars of gross income. Or bothered to withhold taxes on his employees.

IRS Special Agent Scott M. Schneider had this to say is his affidavit for a search warrant:

“In summary, affiant states that based upon the information set forth above there is probable cause to believe that HOVIND has and is committing violations of Title 26, United States Code, Sections 7201 (Attempt to Evade or Defeat Tax), 7202 (Willful Failure to Pay Over or Collect Tax), 7203 (Willful Failure to File) and 7212(a) (Attempts to interfere With Administration of the Internal Revenue Laws) and that evidence of said violations can be found at and on the premises of 29 Cummings Road, Pensacola, Florida. Since 1997, HOVIND has engaged in financial transactions indicating sources of income and has made deposits to bank accounts well in excess of $1,000,000.00 per year during some of these years which would require the filing of federal income tax returns. Affiant has reason to believe that HOVIND has failed and continues to fail to withhold federal employment taxes from the individuals he employs at DAL and CSE. Affiant also has probable cause to believe that HOVIND, through his website writings and internet and bookstore sales, has continued to encourage others to attempt to evade taxes and willfully fail to file individual income tax returns in order to impede the lawful function of the Internal Revenue Service. Based upon the information provided herein, Affiant believes that there is probable cause to believe that evidence of these aforementioned violations, as specifically described in Attachment B, have been and are currently present at the locations of 29 Cummings Road, Pensacola, Florida, more specifically described in Attachment A.”

So, there you have what the IRS Criminal Investigations Division is looking at.

They generally don't bother to raid people who have filed accurate personal returns.

They generally don't bother to raid employers who have accurately withheld and paid taxes on their employees.

The IRS would know whether or not he's filed the returns of which Schneider speaks, now, wouldn't they?

Nutball Hovind whined and bitched and moaned in court via a goofy pro se motion about the search warrant. He got exactly nowhere. What a surprise.

Thank you for providing a perfect example of your idiocy. It seems to extend not just to science, but also to tax law.

But, don't worry, he'll be indicted soon!

But it's the "charge" that matters....
