Dad and his daughter got millions from IRS after claiming to win lottery, authorities say

A Broward County father and daughter claimed the government owed them $175 million in tax refunds on their lottery winnings. The IRS paid them $3.4 million before the agency realized the pair had never purchased a winning ticket, prosecutors say.

Now, the pair, who say they’re “aboriginal indigenous Moorish Americans” immune to government authority, are on trial in a Palm Beach federal courtroom accused of tax fraud.

Court documents allege that Danielle Takeila Edmonson, 35, of Boynton, and Kenneth Roger Edmonson, 51, of Oakland Park, began filing a series of bogus tax returns in 2015. RELATED: Man gets 40 years for fake legal filings »

That year, prosecutors allege, Danielle Edmonson claimed an unspecified amount of lottery winnings, and managed to get the IRS to pay her $239,700. With her allegedly ill-gotten refunds, Danielle Edmonson bought a BMW and took out $60,000 from the bank in cash.

The following year, the woman — who court filings describe as a master’s in business graduate — decided to ask the IRS to pay her over $80 million in returns on over $141 million of supposed income.

“Your demand has no legal validity and is not payable through any federal agency," the IRS replied in a letter quoted in court documents. “Your scheme appears to be akin to a fraud."

But the revenue service’s remonstrance didn’t slow Dainelle Edmonson. The following year, 2016, she got almost $2.5 million out of the agency in what prosecutors allege are fraudulent filings. And the following year, 2017, she asked for $9 million.

I am both disgusted and highly impressed with them, to have hornswoggled that much money from the greedy IRS.
Now, they are likely to get the book thrown at them, just to deter others from trying the same thing.

The big lie is often easier to pull off than a little one.

That’s to big to be a lie.

If I could get millions this way, I would be out of the country to a place that has no extradition agreement with the US.

I’m wondering if they’re connected to the “Black Hebrew Israelites,” or whatever they call, who were responsible for that attack on the Kosher grocery store in Jersey. There is a nest of these flakes Florida, and they live by fraud, human trafficking and violence,

The FBI should get off its posterior, stop trying to carry out a coup against Trump, and do something useful like look into these people.

That "Moorish American" crap is part of what these "sovereign citizen" clowns are using these days.
They are the ones upon being pulled over for a traffic violation, claim they are not driving but "traveling" as if that is somehow different.

“aboriginal indigenous Moorish Americans”

I can't believe the IRS is so clueless that they fell for this scam 3 times and paid year after year. Is the IRS using 1980's DOS computers?

Now they claim no Fedgov authority because of their made up status that doesn't even make sense. I'm of the belief that the rank and file in the IRS are as dumb and lazy as your local DMV. Then you have the corrupt head of IRS, Lois Lerner, who avoided prosecution. Sheesh, what a typical mess of an unaccountable bureaucracy. Remind you of another scandal involving a certain Agency?

The Southern Poverty Law Center, a nonprofit that tracks American extremist groups, describes Moorish Sovereign Citizens as a small sect that believes “African Americans constitute an elite class within American society with special rights and privileges that convey on them a sovereign immunity placing them beyond federal and state authority.”

A website for a New York group apparently affiliated with the movement lays out the group’s beliefs: “Governments are corporations / companies that have no ‘authority’ over natural flesh and blood beings,” the website claims.

Meanwhile, I am still waiting for a $200 refund from my 2017 taxes because they said there was an error in my return and they will inform me of the details shortly.

It has been nearly eight months now. I'd rather not poke the beast over a lousy $200.

These are the same people who take over people’s homes while they are away and then file paperwork claiming the property for themselves (squatters).
