A Broward County father and daughter claimed the government owed them $175 million in tax refunds on their lottery winnings. The IRS paid them $3.4 million before the agency realized the pair had never purchased a winning ticket, prosecutors say.
Now, the pair, who say they’re “aboriginal indigenous Moorish Americans” immune to government authority, are on trial in a Palm Beach federal courtroom accused of tax fraud.
Court documents allege that Danielle Takeila Edmonson, 35, of Boynton, and Kenneth Roger Edmonson, 51, of Oakland Park, began filing a series of bogus tax returns in 2015. RELATED: Man gets 40 years for fake legal filings »
That year, prosecutors allege, Danielle Edmonson claimed an unspecified amount of lottery winnings, and managed to get the IRS to pay her $239,700. With her allegedly ill-gotten refunds, Danielle Edmonson bought a BMW and took out $60,000 from the bank in cash.
The following year, the woman — who court filings describe as a master’s in business graduate — decided to ask the IRS to pay her over $80 million in returns on over $141 million of supposed income.
“Your demand has no legal validity and is not payable through any federal agency," the IRS replied in a letter quoted in court documents. “Your scheme appears to be akin to a fraud."
But the revenue service’s remonstrance didn’t slow Dainelle Edmonson. The following year, 2016, she got almost $2.5 million out of the agency in what prosecutors allege are fraudulent filings. And the following year, 2017, she asked for $9 million.

How does this even work?
Look like the IRS was OK with forking over 3.2 million but when she claimed 80 million was owed to her by the IRS...alarm bells were set off
I’ll bet she had all kinds of crazy fantasies about what they would do with 80 million in IRS tax refunds.
And blame Dad for this “indigenous Moorish Americans” scam. As in we are black so “we are not subject to taxes”.`
I’m sorry but we are going to have to start hanging thieves.
There are too many of them and they aren’t afraid of going to prison.
How can I get me an “aboriginal indigenous Moorish Americans” immune to government authority?
Wouldn’t you have to submit some sort of paperwork showing these millions of dollars owed?

Give them an A for creativity. An F for results.
Your tax returns are based on what you provide to the IRS, it’s an honor system to a degree.

Greed gets em... here’s wondering how many people have pulled the same stunt once, then disappeared. These idiots kept trying.
Could be one of Obama’s sons...uh...daughters...
Did they fake receipts? Did the IRS not check to see if this couple paid millions in taxes? Wouldn’t this be more audit-worthy than Joe and his auto body shop?
Note to self: if you defraud the IRS for millions..Change your identity and get out of the country !
Pigs get fat...hogs get slaughtered.
I’ll bet good money that the auditors let the “small” amount slide after seeing what race was checked on the form.
They should have requested that the IRS pay them in walmart gift cards.
Rather get hit in the face with a freight train than look at that again.
Father and daughter...
