Hopefully the public employees who turned a blind eye to known scams will also be prosecuted
unlikely give how the government works
If they get fired it will be the best we can hope for.
Will their pensions evaporate?
Well, McCabe lost his…oh, wait…
They should.
One can hope.
But I won’t be the least surprised if they announce indictments for unreported tax on Amazon purchases.
That would be state tax revenue lost, not federal taxes. Amazon doesn’t charge federal tax on retail purchases, because there isn’t one!
Tax fraud? Okey dokey
It’s how they got Capone
He sends one of yours to the hospital…..
The game is afoot.
True. But that was before the Chinese Communist Party infiltrated our judiciary and the rest of our government institutions.
It’s a whole different ballgame today. I’m sure you’ve noticed.
They’re looking for the guy who sold fake bulletin board pushpins…
He’s wanted for tacks fraud. 🙂
Bonus Points!
BOGO
Stop!
In the name of love…
Before you break my heart 🙂
Think it oh-oh-ver.
Ok but not up to your usual standards.
Nah, I chuckled!
Put a cork in it buddy.
I wonder how much of this will impact Democrats’ funding in the midterms.
Too late for impact
But maybe not too late for 2028.
Cotrection. Republican funding. That’s why they get the benefits if loosing. Well, at least one reason.
Finally, the DOJ is waking up and doing something to protect the national tax base. Now if it would only go after Obama and his co-conspirators for disenfranchising the electorate and aiding and abetting in the destruction of our system of government as devised under the Constitution and its Bill of Rights.
People want to avoid paying taxes because they see 100s of billions being sent out by governments to learing centers, adult day care, illegal immigrants, and to Ukraine etc
Until you recover all those 100s of billions, I don’t want to hear about 100s of millions in taxes avoided
I don’t see Tim Waltz or any government workers in prison orange waiting to be transported to prison
How many IRS employees have been arrested, prosecuted, fired, and imprisoned for not paying their taxes?
I’m also waiting for politicians to be nabbed for tax evasion.
Well you don’t suppose that these politicals are carefully laundering all the payola do you. Freezers full of cash and jackets with gold bars in the lining tell a different tale.
I’ve always wanted to learn how to Lear!
When I was young, nobody I knew ever even heard of learing, but I guess now it’s a thing.
It’s hard to keep up with all the new stuff.
You could have been King Lear!
Why is the Federal Government paying for free daycare when 90% of these immigrants are on welfare and not working?
When did we vote for this scam?
Seems like a well thought out question…thanks gor playing!
Why does the Federal Government send foreign aid to their home countries when they send their people here to get freebies? Our own citizens can’t get them.
Head Start and full time day care scams exit for two reasons: 1. So the Welfare Parents can take the limo to the Indian Casino all day and not have to worry about daycare and babysitting and 2. Boot Camp for a lifetime of Welfare Scamming and Activism.
Smells bad. I’m hearing “fraudsters” stealing from “taxpayers “. Taxes are taken from payers out of their pay and given to the government. Sounds like Robin Hood was a fraudster. ( He stole money from the Tax Collectors ). I’m wondering why so much embarrassment? Why did the government make this fraud so easy. Big pep talk here covering some stupid hand-outs.
Bureaucrats are what they are! Sheezzzz! Blah, blah, blah giving each other a reach around.
Give me your name, position, then tell me the damn story!
President Trump and his cabinet need to change this culture of endless bullshit that hides the important information.
Remember the three boxes?
I’m joining late. Who was indicted?
Here’s the press release:
https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/dojs-fraud-division-irs-and-irs-ci-expose-more-490m-tax-fraud-national-tax-enforcement-surge
It’s a collection of numerous cases involving false tax returns, employers not paying over the collected wage taxes and various other fraud schemes.
Thank you!
Lots of American sounding names listed.
Nobody you ever heard of!
A whopping 70-some people were indicted. Hardly a drop in the bucket for those hundreds of millions/billions lost.
You need to look again almost half a BILLION dollars in fraud – i.e hundreds of millions – for a single group of 70…
Then there are similar amounts from multiple benefits fraud investigations and charges.
There isn’t 4 or 5 people or 4 or 5 fraud actions that are going to add up to the total – but every couple hundred million counts.
*a group of
A thousand indictments start with 70…
People talk about an October Surprise, but man, this is like- what? The third or fourth surprise? Busting the fraudsters, bulldogging Ilhan Omar, slapping the big banks with fines – and they’re still rooting-out those illicit funding networks behind the illegal immigrant groups, the Soros network, the Somali frauds. It’s a bad time to be a parasite, eh?
Here’s the press release, which includes the map we couldn’t see from the video and they named some names.

California didn’t participate? Must not be any fraud in that state. (Is an “s” really necessary?)
Probably, for the uninitiated.
I noticed nothing in virginia,,,they’re too busy raiding Chinese whorehouses…virginia can’t even run their own brothels
Pigs are flying over the ice-covered remnants of hell.
Stop tax fraud by making the income tax unconstitutional (it already is) and replace it with tariffs and federal gov’t owned 10% non-voting equity in every company that does business in the U.S.
The U.S. gov’t will only be as successful as they allow business to be successful.
And get rid of every single entitlement program that sends money to those who refuse to work. Especially foreigners.
Stop it, Mrs. Sunshine! You’re making too much sense. You’re going to confuse our government officials.
They are already very confused they are still trying to figure out the difference between income and debt !
Because it doesn’t matter to them
Not to mention be on a no-fly list
I don’t like the idea of the federal government having any ownership of a business.
Business owns gov’t now and it’s not going well.
Non-voting shares. Aligning interests and incentives. No more loopholes or special interest carve-outs. All income tax gone. No more tax returns.
You do dream big Mrs Sunshine! If they can’t even get a balanced budget, there will never be a major reconfiguring of how we fund the government.
Let’s start with DOGE dollars and all the fraud found as actual cuts to deficit.
Not a fan of govt owned anything. In a sane world, sure. In a world where a leftist ever becomes president again, no F’ing way. They have a way of taking the current structures of government and bastardizing them. NO
To your first point; absolutely. I did a deep dive on this back when PDJT first started his second term. We wouldn’t make nearly as much in revenue so many people will say that’s not sustainable. Bbbbbb-buuut all you need to do is cut spending to match revenues and you’re good to go. You can make a federal sales tax to cover gaps in some important deficits. But other than that, get rid of income tax completely, everyone gets a raise because their checks are 20-50% higher, and now they have a right to choose to pay taxes if the want.
For example, if you want to have a govt run urgent care program, you could make all the sales tax from dirt bikes and other all terrain vehicles go toward that. That’s a lazy example and not realistic, but it gets the point across.
This is not that hard to figure out. The biggest problem with our govt is them being allowed to make revenue at will with the income tax. Take away the “right” of them to take money from us and all the sudden a LOT of corrupt a holes will leave the political landscape.
This is easy. But it’s not going to be easy getting to that point.
Make up lost tax revenue by taxing dirt bikes and ATs? Shirley you must be joking!
Yes.. And don’t call me Shirley.
Couldn’t help it…
It seems the IRS has never built systems to 1) identify fraud, and to 2) identify suspicious returns before they pay out large sums of money.
Another way to eliminate all IRS fraud immediately would be to eliminate the tax system. If that is a reach too far, it could be simplified (flat tax for example) and built to include fraud detection.
second paragraph all day long… its the only way to ensure that the technocrats cannot use it as a tool of persecution. i suspect that there has been a LOT of it, the vast majority of which we will never know, because we have given them tools like in the first paragraph with the best intentions.
government NEVER uses it for good.
Agree with your “best intended tools” comment. But the bigger problem than the supposed good guys (in your meaning the government) doing bad is letting the bad guys run riot over the rest of us.
And there are lots of categories of bad guys, mainly people looking for easy money. But another group just as power hungry as the worst of governments. And even if we don’t like to think it, there are lots of people who get in a pickle and look for an easy way out with the intention to “set things right” later on. And of course the group of bad guys who just can’t pass up the chance to game the system (as much emotional satisfaction as for money/power).
So we need some kinds of government in place. The trick is to turn the government into an operation that serves our needs, which is what President Trump is trying to do. Along with serving our needs, we need to set up audit systems to control the government doing what it should and strict enforcement.
We the people need to get busy because President Trump has limited time, although even if he had more time he couldn’t do it all because the problems are too big.
“it could be simplified (flat tax for example) and built to include fraud detection”
Value-added tax would be better. Taken at the source and eliminates need to have an IRS.
Ask the British how value added taxes improved their lives (not).
What we didn’t need is stacking value added taxes with income taxes, which Government would absolutely do at the first opportunity.
The income tax has to go first, we cannot trust them to be honest in promising to end income taxes if the revenue is to replaced with another source.
FB founder Data, the android with the stupid haircut, gave 450 million to help with ballot fraud in 2020,
Senators and others trading on inside information,
Judge Boasberg and his criminal conduct,
Soros and the like, all walking around free as a bird.
I don’t want to hear that you nailed anybody for chump change.
Walk Soros out in prison orange, confiscate every penny he has, then I will applaud, but it’s only the beginning
Data, lol. I’ve been calling him that for years! Even his skin looks androidic (actually a word)
Looks like they are going to use the 81,000 IRS tax agents set up by BIDEN. Good to see were at least getting some value out of the fraudulent hirings for our money.
Help me with the math, I get confused when lots of zeros are involved… 81,000 x 100,000$. Base, Bennie’s, car, retirement, per diem when traveling, possible government car, bullets. .,.
Most of that 81,000 figure never got hired.
Auto-pen ran out of ink. /sarc
Gee, maybe the budgets of all of departments losing money to fraud should be reduced each year by the amount of the fraud found. It is pretty clear to me that if we are funding not only those in need but also those stealing, we are paying too much in taxes. We pay so much in taxes that the government cannot effectively monitor the money. It is TIME to start whittling down all of these programs and consider their termination.
Welfare, food stamps, AFDC, housing were never intended to become a way of life. They have. If you don’t work, you shouldn’t eat, right out of the bible. Let local government and churches care for the poor. It is not the business of the federal government.
There was mention made of the Small Business Administration (SBA) fraud cases.
Weren’t some of the SBA loans given out to foreign immigrants to start businesses during the past several years?
Seems like there was something or the other to that effect reported back when the Somali Learing Center and likewise scandals hit the press?
0.o
There are no longer gatekeepers to stop the theft at every level in the federal government because the gates have been ripped off and cast aside for political figures and criminals to rob us blind.
Will every single penny be clawed back including confiscation of all property these crooks own ?
Probably now and you can bet most of the money has found its way to many places that can be found but probably won’t be.
Every single transaction is tracked and traceable in this day no matter what part of the globe it went to.
I read a lot of headlines about government investigations, but I’ve yet to see any results. This makes me cautiously optimistic.
Let me see if I have this straight. They have charged some individuals with tax fraud totaling 400+ million. No one is in jail . No funds have been recovered. Annual tax fraud is estimated at 304 billion. It takes 1000 million to make a billion. So 304 billion would equal 304 thousand million. And they are hooping and hollering about 400 million.
Like the cop in Texas that singled me out among many speeders said “Gotta start some where!” I reckon…
FYI
As of July 2026, 69 of the 80 suspects indicted in the Feeding Our Future case alone have been convicted, including 62 via plea deals and 7 at trial.
The ringleader Aimee Bock got 41 years.
The fact is that fraud is so prevalent no government agency has the resources to find it, prosecute, and clean it up unless a lot more lefties lose their jobs.
Here is the latest where government starts a program, appoints a swindler, and then ignores it all, until someone outside government finds out.

And now for something completely different. I have to say I’m not surprised.

Kinda sorta related……. Local news was hyperventilating because my state recently had over 150,000 peoples booted off SNAP due to the “Big Beautiful Bill”. The children are starving!
How many banks got booted off the Fed discount window? Far more free money there…
Another effort by a failed politicized three letter agency trying to restore public confidence. Thanks to Obama/Biden corruption that was overlooked.
What a joke. These are so far down the totem pole from the perp walks I was expecting from this administration. Tax ax fraud? Didn’t this administration talk about abolishing income tax for most of the workers? I guess he kept himself out of prison that he didn’t deserve by getting reelected.
test
This video was nothing more than Rah Rah Rah Blah Blah Blah. I await the perp walk !
It sickens me to listen to this…is our government so inept that simple checks and balances are not in place to thwart these rip-off artists? Where are the gatekeepers? Looks like the fraudsters outwit the agencies with abandon. Is some of this due to having so many federal programs online, thus making it easier to mask their identities?
Taking the hard earned fruits of our labor is fraud.
How about mandatory prison sentences of 1 year minimum for every year’s worth of median American wages stolen?
So for a bit of math I’ll round that a bit for about 51k/year.
So, if someone steals 1 million, then that would be most of 20 years in prison.
With the massive amounts stolen it would end up being cheaper to hang them then having a bunch of criminals serving multiple life sentences incarcerated.
Biden
Hunter Biden
Obama and the whole White House/Democrat cabal under Hussein and Sh!tstain Biden
Good grief, the amount of gnashing of teeth and wailing is amazing today.
They are sparing us the rending of garments… so far.
The IRS conducts W 2 matching/ verification in August and they issues refunds as early as January (8 months earlier). The scammers know this and aren’t worried about any erroneous refund clawbacks that the IRS may utilize.
DOJ met all of its diversity, equity, and inclusion goals with this list.
The entire premise is deeply flawed. These creeps allege that fraud harms the American Tax System- NOT the same as the American Citizen.
The obfuscation is obvious if you listen carefully: They are defending “the system”- NOT Americans.
Income tax receipts only account for about 50% of the Federal Budget (that we KNOW of!) The rest is borrowed from a private European bank unaccountable to the IRS (the Fed).
Obfuscating their actual premise with “Some builder guy didn’t remit his employee’s withheld payroll taxes” sounds noble but the reality is they are gunning for YOU the income earner- especially the self employed. Fear and more fear is mostly all they have. A few famous-guy perp walks (Wesley Snipes for example) is becoming inadequate to scare people into blind compliance.
Their fraud (ie: Learing Centers) and their filthy acts- kid diddling, homosexual debauchery, getting fabulously rich while a “public servant” is causing a massive tax filing revolt. They brought this on themselves.
Thinking people no longer view paying taxes on our earnings (which courts hold is “Property”) as a patriotic act. Americans are rapidly realizing that the abuse of trust and willful harm they have inflicted on honorable, responsible Americans is not worthy of continued funding.
The public unions (run by Democrats) are enablers of fraud.
Now do Congressmen and women.
