U.S. District Court N. Adams brothers guilty in IRS scam n The ...

Must know you have to give the goverment their extortion money, you know the SILENT partners till they don't get their share.

This is bull$h!t!

stupid is as stupid does

Tried to get a job with these guy's a few years ago,now I know why they did not hire me,I was over qualified they told me,how can you be over qualified as a finish carpenter???? so I laughed

Stupid. Is this really a wise use of federal govt resources? chasing after a a couple of small time contractors from adams while people have lost billions to sleazy investment advisors.

they should have traded their autos and applied for stimulus loot. how about abusing a policeman, they could plead their case in the rose garden and drink beer with the President

NOT chasing after the "small time" contractors leads to the BIG TIME B.S. that we've all had to pay for on Wall Street.....why should they get away with it?? Or, is it that you were on their "payroll" ? What kind of example are they setting for their children, if any?? "It's ok honey, you can cheat..." Now, their families have to deal with the looks,glares,and crappy headshaking by people that know them, because it was more important to cut corners, than to just be honest. The rest of us, have to be honest...we've struggled, our children have gone without....I mean, WTF?? Nobody thinks about the consequences though.
They probably didn't mean for it to go this far, nobody does. The point? Greed is a terrible, terrible, thing....it controls more than you think, more than we know. Once your bitten, there's not a thing in the world that you can do to change it, unless you find the strength within to face the truth, and the music. Unfortunately, they're going to do that, but behind bars.

I call it get away stupidity-- live with it buddies!!!

Sounds like you need to hire a new investment advisor!

Prosecution of these two is a very good use of public (our) funds.

They will likely be convicted and forced to pay taxes plus penalties (including cost of prosecution), which is only fair.

Otherwise they are benefitting from things like paved roads, military & police service, trash pick-up, etc. that we law-abiding taxpayers are paying for.

(and yes, I understand the irony of my ealier post under the name "Ayn Rand" - but just SHRUG it off, o.k..)

Gosh - does this point up the hypocrisy of the federal government, or what!!!

Ol' Bernie Madoff stole billions of $'s from people, but because they had already paid their taxes on the money invested, the Feds could care less even after one of their own blew the whistle on Bernie's operation 3 times in 10 years.

But, screw the IRS out of a couple bucks up front & watch out! You'll get steam rollered, screwed, blewed & tatooed.

Yeah - Bernie got his, but only because the feds had nothing else to do. These guys got the full weight of the feds on them almost immediately. Why? because the feds weren't getting their cut up front!

To all the citizens who still think this is the land of the free and the home of the brave - boy are you a bunch of misled suckers!!!

This post wreaks of conspiracy theory madness.

Please put on your aluminum foil hat, get back into the closet of your mother's basement (aka "your room") and let the adults to talk.

OK, honey?

Yes We all understand that its important to pay taxes so the feds can spend them on things we don't want or need. However how much does the irs and doj spend going after 2 carpenters with a pickup truck? How much will actually be re-paid? These guys just sound like they are dumb and dumber - but they are hardly bernie madoffs. I suggest that this type of situation doesn't require criminal charges be filed etc. All they should have to do is file estimated returns for the years in question, pay the tax, pay the interest, pay a stiff penalty. We don't need a federal prosecutor and a federal judge to deal with this type of low level stuff. They should be working on handling big time crooks and drug dealers etc.

They are not the first nor will be the last to try to cheat the goverment..It would be even better if they caught the big time cheaters like drug dealers call girls, people who collect wellfare and work under the table and some in our own goverment..They are all over the place people.

ever waited tables and not claimed your tips??? they could come for you too.

I look at it this way. I need my money more than the govt'. They get their cut of what I feel is fair after me and my family are provided for. I always end up paying in. But to not pay in at all is scummy.

When I had tax problems I called Ronnie Doyche.

c an you go on the work it off program?
