In my experience in federal criminal tax defense, I have never seen an easier case to prove of criminal tax evasion, or a more egregious case, that what #Avenatti did. A lawyer, who stiffed every tax authority, including Trust Funds employee taxes, in the millions, for years.
If he’s since paid it I would say it’s a hard case. Cohen should file an ethics complaint against him over the way he handled the release of his bank records.
As a CPA, I agree. You don’t mess with Trust Fund Taxes. There is a fiduciary responsibility that transcends the corporation.
