This happened in March 2015, so the Fraud and his weaponized IRS must have had something on these people.

Still paging Al Sharpton....

The Obama-ized, weaponized IRS just keeps rolling along, ruining lives and livelihoods, continuing until stopped or corrected by the new president.
We may not get any tax reform this year at all.
So these sort of actions will go on as present protocol.

"IRS agents seized the entire inventory of Mii's Bridal in 2015"

The raid and auction took place under "The Great ObamaNation's" weaponized IRS but the Dallas Morning News runs the story now in an attempt to pin the blame on Trump.

Our Gov’t Bureaucrats operate with efficiency of the post-office and heart of the IRS.

I would start looking at the relationship of customers/debtors of this business to people in power. Someone knew someone. Power was abused.

The lawsuit says one document received is a written “directive” from an IRS supervisor to “shut down this failing business.”

The IRS is wholly antipathetic to small businesses because they are inefficient producers of tax money. It takes more paperwork and more agents to process X$ of taxes from 50 small businesses than it does to process the same X$ from one large business and the fines that can be got from a single large corporation that they claim owes a million dollars are a much larger total than can be produced from the Hundred small businesses that might equal the same revenue stream as the one large business.IS will shut a small business down just because it has the effrontery to be small.

They had $600,000+ in wedding dress inventory.

If they owned the dresses outright, that’s a major asset. Rolling in with 20 agents, selling everything for pennies on the dollar is absurd.

These folks might have tried to avoid taxes - most businesses do. Should be a process with legal remedies to go through instead of a looting by the IRS.

The money deposit thing is no joke. I have a friend that operates a charity - a charity - and he deposited 3-4k a few days in a row. Got an in person visit from the IRS about it. Making sure he wasn’t stacking - taking amounts over $10,000 and doing multiple deposits to avoid IRS detection.
Doing that, btw, is a federal crime.

I will Hazard a guess:

some man came in trying on bridal dresses for his impending wedding to a man.

This old couple raise their eyebrows a millimeter or two.

Sorry, but *somewhere* in all this is a spec or a log of ideology involved.

EVERYTHING is politicized these days, even sensitive National Security intelligence.

The "weaponizing" of the IRS started long before Obama, in regard to the $10,000 deposit rule, at least.

Rule 1544

Drug dealers and smugglers often use large cash payments to “launder” money from illegal activities. Laundering means converting “dirty” or illegally-gained money to “clean” money.

The government can often trace this laundered money through the payments you report. Laws passed by Congress require you to report these payments. Your compliance with these laws provides valuable information that can stop those who evade taxes and those who profit from the drug trade and other criminal activities.

The USA PATRIOT Act of 2001 increased the scope of these laws to help trace funds used for terrorism.

Thank Big Brother Bushie.

They allowed the problem to drag on for 12 years with no resolution.

In essence the problem was ignored and created more and more problems also ignored.

They lost

The true IRS on display. Abolish this marxist construct and the income tax and replace it with a national sales tax. For too long the IRS has been a blight upon us.

There should no asset forfeiture under ANY circumstance apart from there already being an actual conviction. It is better to let bad guys keep their loot than give government such raw power to harass innocent people.

We need to get rid of the idea that the “Justice” system is about government or people getting their pound of flesh however they may. Likewise we need to stop acting as if it is the function of people to fund their government.

People should also NOT be held responsible for blank transaction reports. Only the banks should be on the line for those. If that means bad people get away with sliding under the radar then so be it.

Incidentally, when is ANYONE getting charged for the Clinton campaign’s habit of making unauthorized charges on small donor’s credit cards?
