The IRS probably didn't; an individual IRS employee, looking to supplement his income, most likely did the deed. Notice that these folks are usually former IRS agents; they probably rely on old contacts inside the IRS for prospect lists.

The entire thing is an atrocity - a crime against the very underpinnings of our government - and thus needs to be done away with permanently!
