$400k salary and they need daily allowances (over $17k/yr tax free) for breakfast, lunch and dinner? The IRS should be looking into that to make sure they are "working" meals because that's the only reason they should get meal allowances.

Most people traveling for work get something like that. its called per diem. food on the road when you have no choice but to eat out locally or at hotels. Standard business expenses.

Were they paying TAXES on that meal subsidy INCOME?

SOUNDS LIKE UNREPORTED TAXABLE INCOME TO ME.
