A Texas man who filed over two dozen challenges to former President Trump’s ballot eligibility was arrested Tuesday on charges alleging he filed 17 sets of false tax documents to the IRS.
John Anthony Castro was indicted last week on 33 counts of aiding the preparation of false tax returns. Prosecutors claim he ran a virtual tax preparation business that provided customers with tax returns beyond what they were actually owed, defrauding the government.
“Castro would promise a significantly higher refund than taxpayers could receive from other preparers and on many occasions, offered to split the additional refund with taxpayers,” prosecutors said in court documents. “In order to achieve these larger refunds, Castro generated false deductions, that were not based in fact, and which were submitted without the taxpayer’s knowledge.”

Was he working for Hillary or Soros?
“Ooops. Maybe there is one honest Trump-supporting FBI/IRS agent after all!”
Even the federal government makes mistakes. I suspect that they’ll again correct themselves by giving him the Ray Epps treatment.
I am guessing a MAGA man tipped off the IRS. But why would the IRS act ? Castro is on their side.
“”John Anthony Castro “”
Johnny has been a naughty boy.
I wonder if some judge somewhere got sick of Johnny’s BS filings and knew about John’s Magic Tax Return Service.
.
sounds like he may have worked for the Colorado Democratic election machine. He has a conniving mind to cheat and that is in a Democrat’s DNA.
The Secretaries of the Treasury and Justice Department must have been in the hospital for an elective surgery and that is how the indictment was allowed to go ahead.
Round and round
What goes around comes around
offered to split the additional refund with taxpayers...
I am surprised that the DOJ acted. Maybe they need one example of prosecuting an anti-Trump candidate to show that they are only 99% biased.
Probably not more than one, though.
I am sure that is true.
The 17 and the 33 stand out. Is it another low IQ cabal message?
“Trump-supporting FBI/IRS agent”
Do you REALLY want partisan affiliations for government agents?
And do you think one rogue agent can bring an indictment if the IRS and Justice don’t sign off on it?
I am pretty sure that it is the taxpayers that will have to pay back the excess refunds.
“Do you REALLY want partisan affiliations for government agents?”
It is not what I want. But, I stopped pretending we had unbiased, non-partisan federal law enforcement members quite some time ago.
Castro? Now where have I heard that name?
Oh that is it, the communist Castros from San Antonio.
“Prosecutors claim he ran a virtual tax preparation business that provided customers with tax returns beyond what they were actually owed”
Admittedly, this is a pet peeve. A “return” is the thing you have to file; a “refund” is the money you gave the government in an interest-free loan, and that you hope to get back.
Shadenfreude!
