“The IRS sent a total of 655 tax refunds to a single address in Lithuania, and 343 refunds went to a lone address in Shanghai.”
If it makes no sense that a computerized system would not catch that. We know that it would catch it if we tried it.
The real truth of the matter is probably something more like this. Much of that money is being funneled right back to politicians and world power players. This is how one could cover it up.
There was a story not too long ago about the Miami address that had hundreds of returns.
Even the most incompetent postman wouldn't stuff that many letters into one box.
It would take a mailbag. Or more likely they'd hold the letters at the local P.O. for pick up.
And BTW, if these are wire transfers, generally doesn't the IRS get a tad interested in "someone" moving hundreds of thousands of dollars into overseas accounts?
Wouldn't some kind of alarm go off?
I sure as poop couldn't just pop by my bank and deposit 300K into my account without the proper documentation.
