Oh, man. It was an ordeal. They were convinced I was a drug dealer. I wasn't. I was actually dealing wheat. But they estimated my income at $1 million for a couple of years and whacked me with a 500k lien. I was 25. In order to fight it I'd have had to give up a couple people that helped me in my scheme. I couldn't do it.
And for the record, I really never made $20 k. But I ran about 100k through a bank account one year. I was young and dumb.
Did get the swat/dope team to my place a couple of times :) That was exciting...
I think the South would have won the war had they done that. That would have taken the heart out of the North. Or if Bobby Lee would have taken Philly in '63.
I'm not so sure that would have been a good thing in the long term.
Well wheat is a pretty dangerous substance too according to some medical professionals so .... back when you were 25 $1 million was a whole bunch of money, amazing how running $100K through the bank equals $1 million in earnings in the governments eyes. With math like that it is no wonder why this country has been bankrupt for the last century and we are passing around IOU's pretending them to be money.
It is funny to think about if the south had won the war, the nations capital would probably be in Atlanta or Birmingham.
