He took the mother of all local car dealerships down for over $1 Million! Then converted the money into gold and silver? This dude is either a genius, or a total idiot.
I'm not a CPA, but how do you lie on a tax return that leads the IRS to give you refunds back for money you never paid them for previously? Maybe he claimed self-employed and inflated the figures? Still hard to imagine the IRS computers wouldnt have caught it over three consecutive years.....
