Man who ratted out Super-Rich tax dodgers lives in hiding and has $10 million bounty on his head

[Popol Vuh]

American News Project: They hide an estimated $100 billion a year from the IRS, but now the US Senate is turning up the heat on super-rich tax cheats. The man who ratted out some of these tax dodgers now lives in hiding and has a $10 million bounty on his head. This is a story straight out of our new Gilded Age -- one of billionaires, foreign bankers, corruption, secrecy and, of course, greed.

1. The man who tattled on the super rich tax cheats

Will he be compensated by the IRS??

It used to be that you received a percentage of whatever gains the IRS made on the tax cheat - I forget if it was 15 % or 22 % but you stood to gain quite a bit if you snitched on someone who had cheated on their taxes.

In this case, the Lichtenstein tax cheat would be worth millions, I presume, if that old system of rewards is still in place!!

3. Sounds like some law is being broken there, doesn't it?

5. Bounty doesn't surprise me.

The super-rich make the laws. They do what they were going to do anyway, and the law gets created around them. What, offshore tax havens aren't legal? Well, they are now. So to do something illegal is such a small thing, it's practically all they do is illegal.
