I had heard/read that before. He was after the money and thought that the IRS had alot of it. He couldn’t get much of it there though.
For him, it turns out that real estate appartments were the way to go.
I worked at the IRS way, way, way back. Every night I processed payments I did over 1 million dollars all by myself. It was data entry so fairly-boring; I’d keep a rough running total just for laughs. It was so cold I’d go to work with a sweater on in the middle of the summer.
You’d see checks or money orders for 1 cent or 2 cents. And then you’d see.....
They called him a “retired accountant” to try to make those in private accounting look bad.
Everything I have looked at until now hid that he had worked for the IRS.
