"Hard to do in France."
Well, FYI, the U.S. Embassy in Paris, France,
(4th Floor 2, rue St. Florentin 75001 Paris Tel: 33 1.43.12.25.55 Fax: 33 1.43.12.47.52 email: irs.paris@irs.gov)
has federal government personnel stationed there full-time in the employ of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). It is not difficult for them to track Mr. Depp down in France and deliver in person or by courier registered, the necessary IRS documents directing him to report to the American Embassy Paris IRS Unit for 'questions' about his tax returns.
Failure to comply is a federal crime. Mr. Depp can be slapped into handcuffs at JFK the minute he returns to puppy soil for refusing to appear or reply in France. "Respondez vous, s'il vous plait."
I think the US Administration has the balls to do it. As well they should.
Aigles ver le haute! Eagles up!
I think the US Administration has the balls to do it. As well they should. Well, that might be. But I hate the IRS worse than just about anything else. If they gave me a similar order, I'd go underground. All Depp has done is talk. This isn't a crime. We might not like what he has to say but I wouldn't wish the IRS on him just for that. The IRS hound me enough as it is- it's not funny at all. It's like when you are an American citizen, you become property of the IRS and they hold a title deed on you no matter where you go. They even want to tax my wife's money even though she's not American and has never set foot in the States. They can bugger off.
I disagree with what Depp has said here but I support his right to say it. Jeez, it wasn't like he wished death on anybody. If I had to side with him or the IRS, Depp would get my support just about every time.
