Criminal Tax Files
From billionaires to paupers, every economic class has their share of tax cheats. Al Capone was the first widely known criminal imprisoned for tax evasion. Since then, the tax law has been used to prosecute various white collar crimes. This podcast is for those who are interested when taxes and crimes intersect. We talk about tax crimes and look at the stories of those who committed them, those who defend them, and those who prove the cases.

Episode 4
When the civil side of IRS believes that a tax crime has been committed, they create a report and refer the allegations to IRS-Criminal Investigation for evaluation. Within 10 days of receiving this file, IRS-CI meets with the civil side. This is called a "5 Way Conference." In this conference, certain questions are asked to help IRS-CI evaluate the referral. In this episode, I discuss the questions that are asked and why it is important if you are representing a client in a potential fraud referral.
