Now do Soros.
Elections are when people find out what politicians stand for, and politicians find out what people will fall for.

So if my math is right, it took him 20 years to steal $2B and it would take the federal government about 3.5 hours to spend $2B. (152k every second for a year)

Sounds like he's not the biggest fraud in the equation however guilty he may be.

Fun end to a rabbit trail on this one.

From my link earlier:
Quote:
. . .
Brockman's case is tied to that of another American billionaire, Robert F. Smith, who agreed to cooperate with federal prosecutors against Brockman. Smith will not be charged with a crime in exchange for his assistance, Anderson said.

Smith has agreed to pay $139 million in owed taxes and penalties, and admitted a violation of federal law. Smith used his ill-gotten gains for ski properties in the French alps, a vacation home in Sonoma, but also for charitable causes, like a Colorado charity for wounded veterans and impoverished youth, prosecutors said.
. . .
Robert F. Smith is the wealthiest black man in America.

Quote:
Billionaire Robert F. Smith, founder of Vista Equity Partners and the wealthiest Black man in America, will settle a four-year federal investigation into tax crimes for $140 million, according to a Wednesday report from Bloomberg.
. . .
According to Smith's wiki page, he was divorced from his first wife in 2014, had a baby with his mistress in 2014 (surely coincidence), and then married his mistress in 2015.

Quote:
. . .
Smith married Hope Dworaczyk, the founder and CEO of skincare company MUTHA, a former Playboy playmate, healthy living advocate, and fashion editor, on July 25, 2015.
I like to think there's hope for all of us.

They won't touch federal corruption but will chase rich people for taxes.

These cowards need to get right or be disbanded.

If you won't police yourselves, you should be put out to pasture and have no right to question anyone else.

I can't say I'm surprised the CEO of Rey Rey got charged with tax evasion. $2 billion is a bit more than I would have thought.

Yeah didn't see that coming at all from the owner of that sleezy company.

Port Lavaca, that explains a lot.
NO AMNESTY!

in order for democrats, liberals, progressives et al to continue their illogical belief systems they have to pretend not to know a lot of things; by pretending "not to know" there is no guilt, no actual connection to conscience. Denial of truth allows easier trespass.

i think all the parallels between it and Initech. "Office Space" had to have been written by a disgruntled former employee of UCS.
