The owner of a Fraser grocery store who has been battling the Internal Revenue Service over money the agency seized from him won his fight today.http://www.freep.com/article/20131115/NEWS04/311150112/Fraser-Dehko-IRS

This man was guilty of some sort of pre-pre-crime.

Glad to see even the little guy can win against the big machine sometimes.
Too bad they weren't required to pay him interest and penalties.

The owner of a Fraser grocery store who has been battling the Internal Revenue Service over money the agency seized from him won his fight today.http://www.freep.com/article/20131115/NEWS04/311150112/Fraser-Dehko-IRS

This man was guilty of some sort of pre-pre-crime.

What happened was simply a result of him depositing cash from his family owned grocery store in the bank. The IRS saw that it was cash, and decided that the anti-terror laws afforded them the right to seize it, because he is not a large corporation with all the protection money that the administration could get through a lobbyist. I posted on this a while back.

The man goes to the bank to deposit money in no more than $10,000 increments because his insurance only covers him up to $10,000 if he is robbed or it is lost on the way to the bank. He goes every day. Apparently the IRS wants him to go less frequently and to deposit more in at a time, that way he can fill out special paperwork each time that the government wants to see, just in case you are a terrorist. People who love big government and the police state are thrilled with things like this because it makes them hard when they think about a jackboot kicking the guy's door in and stealing his money, under the guise of patriotism. People like J. O. Box and his butt buddy Boxarox enjoy seeing hard working, small business people destroyed by big government because it satisfies their lust for power and government power-trips. Plus it shows that working hard as an INDEPENDENT non-union working man should never pay off. These two want all to be part of a "collective" communistic movement and if one is independent of those forces, then they want one punished.

Yeah, but maybe he was a terrorist who was hiding money to send to Bin Laden, right?

In the duplicate post you say I was thrilled to see him go through this (not knowing my support shown in this post).
In this post you now assert I think he is a terrorist (becuase your other idiotic statement was stupid and baseless).
You are without a doubt ignorant beyond words.
Did you get a refund from that imaginary degreee you claim to have rec'd?
Reading 101 should have been a prerequisite, Graham cracker bonehead classless wannabe nobody!!!
SEE YA...WOULD NEVER WANT TO BE YA!!!!

That's what did Eliot Spitzer in, the bank trolling through his accounts to see if he might be spending his own money suspiciously. He should have known better, you can't investigate Wall Street and Big Money unless you are clean as a whistle. They can even get you for maybe appearing as if you might be thinking about doing something wrong, and they don't need no stinkin' criminal justice system to do it.
Interesting that nobody investigated the CASH BUSINESS run by a former coke dealer cop, so that he would've received more than a token punishment for his crime. I guess actual money laundering isn't as bad as looking as if you might be doing it. Come to think of it, nobody at HSBC got charged with that either, just fined.

I don't know why this post came out twice, it didn't look that way yesterday when I posted it, and I don't know how to fix it now.
