Translation: there are Democrat front groups which are getting truckloads of money from tax fraud like this.
A problem I have here is they cannot be properly presorting their mail to come up with this result ~ which means IRS is not paying attention nor is Treasury Department.
The employees who do the work that makes those refunds real work for Treasury Department, not IRS, although IRS was supposed to be doing the quality control work on the system (if I read that report correctly).
That report suggests the skullduggery happened in 2011, and probably 2012! That means these guys were ready to roll the minute the scam teams were abolished.
As you imagined there are some other scams being run. BTW, Treasury, despite the fame of the vaunted T-men, just simply doesn't have the talent on board who can tell them how and where internal criminals are running scams. IRS security isn't comprehensive ~ they're into the kind of scams taxpayers run!
Last time we had a deal involving Treasury it concerned the widespread practice of creating phony employees and how folks could get away with that one even when Treasury had a bond problem closely related to that particular problem.
Let's get back to Geitner. Here's a notorious tax cheat put in charge of the agency through whom all tax dollars, bond dollars, refund dollars and expenditure dollars flow and Congress let OBama put him in charge.
There's a general law of nature regarding the direction effluent flows ~ that was violated, or maybe elevated to the top. Tim's gone, but he can be held up as an example of what happens to everything when you put an unscrupulous idiot in charge of managing the nation's cash register.
