She's very guilty!

[dfwgator]

She’s obviously qualified to be Secretary of the Treasury.

[yobid]

Should qualify her as Treasury Secretary.

[mo]

hmmmm....wonder if she was “supposed” to turn that card over to a certain Presidential campaign....

funny how this appears in an overseas paper.....

[mikrofon]

She can always call Tim Geithner as a witness in her trial…

[thackney]

$2.1 million and she buys:

Reyes, according to an arrest affidavit, paid $2,000 in cash for a 1999 Dodge Caravan and used the card to buy $800 worth of tires and wheels.

I never really understood the IRS practice of issuing a refund first and examining the return after.

[Ole Okie]

Oh, she’s guilty! Guilty!

[who knows what evil?]

The Daily Mail...covering the US news the US media ‘overlooks’...

[KC Burke]

Sounds like a state refund. I am sure the left coast papers will be all over this.

[nhoward14]

She uses TurboTax to file. Oregon uses an abacus to check the return and issues the refund.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

You could do the same thing with the form you get from the IRS.

It's amazing that the IRS didn't have a flag for refunds over a million dollars. I doubt that very many legitimate million dollar refunds go out. Anybody with that much money would be very unlikely to overpay.

[onedoug]

I shudder to think of the rampant fraud going on with this current tax system.

There’s got to be a better way. Our representatives in government - at virtually every level - continue to fail us at essentially every turn.

[taxcontrol]

For $2.1 Million, I could have disapeared entirely. New identity, out of the country, laundered the money and been off the grid and LONG gone.

[CSM]

She should have immediately hopped on a plane and headed for a non extradition treaty destination....

[THE_RAIDER]

I’ve been living and filing in the wrong state.

I bet she is one of the 99%.

[Tenacious 1]

After all these stories about fraud with taxes (especially the illegals and non-existent children) I am starting to think of myself as a fool for being so honest about taxes.

If it’s so easy and nobody ever seems to get caught, and if cheating on taxes qualifies you to serve in federal government at the highest levels, WTF am I doing?

[Psycho_Bunny]

“Due to the size of the refund, her electronic claims was examined by several people within the Oregon Revenue Department.”

There’s the real story. None of these people should have jobs this morning.

[dennisw]

How many people are claiming bogus $5000-$50000 refunds and getting them? I have a feeling this dumb looking woman got this idea from others who do it on a more modest scale each year

[mykroar]

Krystle Marie Reyes was only caught after she reported the Visa card containing the seven figure sum had been lost.

My question is, how would you lose this card?
