The IRS convicted one of their clients for tax evasion from 1996-2000 by using the firms services to set up off-shore accounts & shell companies. So the IRS filed a "John Doe" summons for the records of all their similar customers from 1995-2017!
The law firm has lost it's legal fight as of last week & will have to provide the identities of the clients to the IRS. Piercing their claim of attorney client privilege as they were acting as accountants/tax preparers not attorneys! mahanyertl.com/2019/john-doe-…
So now they are going to have to provide the list of clients who they helped set up off-shore accounts for over 22 years!
So this case will obviously build into other clients & customers who were evading taxes & laundering money through these shell companies. leagle.com/decision/infdc…
This is not to say that the law firm was engaged in criminal activity, but their otherwise legal services may have been used to set up tax evasion schemes. But would you be surprised their address is a shared office space in a big office building...
The IRS has been using a bunch of "John Doe" summons lately. Including on US banks to get the identities of card holders in Finland & Denmark who are using credit cards in the name of off-shore shell companies to spend money without it being traceable.

If you are just learning about the Swamp creature named Leonard Leo & his control of ‘conservative’ judges who work for Fortune 500 multinational corporations instead of the American people; now is your chance to catch up.
#ButNothingsHappening
Leo’s friends then use your fake news to tell you that you should blindly support judicial rulings disguised as protecting the Constitution. When in reality, they are protecting Swampy relationships between corrupt companies & the politicians they own.
Why does your fake news want MAGA to support judges controlled by ’sleazeball’ Leonard Leo?
Because they believe that it’s very important that you support the judges who work for the Swamp.
How do they control them? Consulting fees, gifts & trips.
Gone are the days of German leaders from East Germany, weakening NATO by not spending their agreed upon defense budget.
Gone are the days fo German politicians buying energy from Russia & taking Swampy deals & well paid seats on Russian company boards.
Credit Suisse pleads guilty & flips for helping 475 US account holders hide billions from the IRS in off-shore accounts.
They have also signed a deferred prosecution agreement for other crimes & agreed to cooperate!
Crimes from 2010-2021!
#ButNothingsHappening
Credit Suisse will pay $510M in fines & penalties in addition to the guilty plea.
After corrupt bankers collapsed Credit Suisse, UBS bought them & are now also forced to comply with the cooperation agreement!
It's a 2 for 1 special!
The reason for the requirement to plead guilty is likely because when they committed these crimes, they were under a Deferred Prosecution Agreement signed in 2014 that required their cooperation.
They didn't think DOJ would hold them to it!
How long before people realize that Trump sets up cases to get precedents set in court?
Once the exact parameters & processes for using the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 are confirmed deporting Tren de Aragua, how long does Trump wait to use it on China's 1000 Talents spy program?
It would be very easy to prove in court by the precedents set at this time that the 1000 Talents program is a predatory incursion against the United States by the Chinese government.
