What a coincidence, Chapo Guzman is also in that line of work!!!

Wonder how many freelance pharmacists don't tell the IRS how much money they make and get welfare and food stamps?
 
When they nailed Alexis Wright, the Kennebunk "Zumba Prostitute", most of her jail time was for wrongfully accepting welfare benefits.

And with her hundreds of johns, the welfare was just pin money. They only catch the dumb ones!

Too strange! Kind of like Al Capone got convicted of fed tax evasion. Like he was going to declare his income from extortion, etc., to the government. Where on a W-2 form would "Protection Money" go?

Seems they could bust any drug dealer in Detroit driving an Escalade, since you'd have to ask "where did the money come from for the $60k Escalade?" on your Burger King income?
 
That's how they generally catch people, their tax returns don't add up to their lifestyle.

You can't buy anything with cash these days so its very hard to hide stuff like that.

Back in the drug dealers glory days of the 70's and 80's you could walk into a Ferrari dealer with bags of cash and drive out in a car.

Actually you still can use cash, my friend went in and bought a new Mitsubishi EVO with cash a couple months ago. Just to see if he could. Not Ferrari money, but still a decent stack of hundred dollar bills.

I paid cash for My 2500HD & Corolla, On both a IRS Form 8300 was involved.

I quoted him $2,700, But I do a lot of expensive upgrades at that price, The Sonnax Input drum alone is over $600, New GM planets, Sonnax sun shell, GM reverse input drum.
Refurbish the valve body (Oversize/Ream the Actuator Feed Limit & TCC-PWM bores & install oversized Bushings & Valves), "hybrid" Shift kit, Larger ratio Boost Valve, Pinless Accumulator pistons, Dual cage Input sprag, New bushings.

I do not advertise at all, We don't even have a sign on the building! 100% of my business comes from "word of mouth/repeat customers/referrals" But still 6 weeks behind on projects, And 1 week behind on daily work.



might i ask where in FW you are located? just in case.. (My Brother lives in the Mid-cities on the far east end of Tarrant County..)

(do you do all makes/models, or specialize in a certain brand? I only ask, since the car in question was a GM, but he has 2 Mustangs GT(98 5speed,& 06 Auto), an 07 Dakota (Auto 4wd), and a 13 Challenger (Auto))

They gladly accepted 100 dollar bills, The IRS form was the only thing different than any other cash transaction.
