If you have money overseas beware. Every mid-level clerk and teller will be racing to snitch and cash in.

Never have heard of republican whistle-blowers getting this kind of payout. Makes one wonder.

Never have heard of republican whistle-blowers getting this kind of payout. Makes one wonder is this person a democrat?

So this is what passes for journalism today.

Pathetic

There is a big difference between tax evasion and tax avoidance - one is illegal and the other is not. In fact, an agressive tax avoidance strategy is one of the conerstones of building wealth. But our Federal overlords do not want us building wealth, hence their propagandists in the gubmint-run State Media publish junk like this article that makes it appear as if avoiding taxes is a crime, and being a snitch is admirable (and profitable, apparently).

And the rubes swallow it all, hook, line, & sinker...
