This has potential for a MAJOR Tax evasion lawsuit.
It seems the Manchurian Cantaloupe has at least one thing in common with Alphonse Gabriel Capone after all.
Edit to add: possibly two things, if the rumors of neurosyphilis have any weight.

All of them
Throw it on the pile. We’ll get to it sooner or later.
I sincerely doubt any rich person made his/her money legally and ethically. There is a skeleton somewhere.
Didn’t Enron bury its debt by dumping it into shell companies? This seems like the opposite where Trump dumped tax liability by taking out a loan from his own shell company. Both deceptions but both satisfying a financial objective.
Al Capone got away with murder but he couldn’t get away with from tax evasion but with this current GOP, you could get away with anything.
Is there a way to file a complaint to the IRS about a potential tax fraud allegation?
Asking for a friend.
Between this and the Candyman story things are getting flat out hilarious
How did the IRS miss this?
Yup, that’s America.
A place where a big time grifter can brag publicly that he’s committing tax fraud and then get maybe dinged with it eight years later….maybe….
Incredible reporting and work by the monitor to find this. Sounds like out and out intentional tax fraud.
Someone lock that criminal up already.
They’ll get to this trial in 2028. While Trump is the nominee again, after losing to Joe Biden in 2020 and 2024.
And in his tax trial, somehow the words of Judge Kaplan in the E. Jean Carroll trial will come into play:
“Mr. Trump in fact sexually abused Ms. Carroll by forcibly inserting his fingers into her vagina.”
This dude is as crooked as they come. How in the world he has gotten away with this for so long is beyond me. Has he ever had any legitimate business dealings? Lock him up.
Reminds me of Steve Martin.
“How to be a millionaire, and pay no taxes. First, get a million dollars. Then when the IRS comes and says ‘how come you have a million dollars and have never paid taxes?’ You say.. “I forgot”
Enron, Trump … as messy as a Depends
It looks open and shut.

Yet when I put a number in the wrong box, I have the IRS up my ass.
What’s the over / under on Dummy being in jail before the election?
Pile it on
This is the tip of the iceberg. This is why the republicans are always fighting to cut funding to the IRS. Without effective investigations and enforcement the rich will continue to pull shady shit all day and night.
You take the red pill, you stay in Wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes.
Ah, tax evasion. Sir the IRS are here to collect, everything. This is how you lose it all.
It will be the icing on the cake if they can get him for all the tax evasion he’s done over the years.

Well, now he is gonna need to find another $83.3 million somewhere.
Tucked away in [Footnote 6 of Barbara Jones’ letter to the court](https://s3.documentcloud.org/documents/24388438/barbara-jones-trump-letter.pdf) suggests that Trump lied to the government for years about a mysterious $50 million loan that never existed.
