- There are no statistics for general tax fraud.
- There are statistics on p. 26 for international operations investigation, prosecution and sentencing statistics (the anecdotal discussion leading to these statistics starts on p. 24.) The anecdotal convictions and sentencings are for Peter Troost, Sameer Gupta, Leopoldo Valencia-Urrea, Aristotle R. Matsa. I have written on this blog about all of these except Mr. Valencia-Urrea.
- The statistics for BSA investigations, prosecutions, p. 29
The statistics for international operations may be correct, based on the criteria for the statistics. I don't know what that criteria is, however. I know that the data I maintain for the offshore bank convictions and sentencings is not consistent with the indicated 51 months average sentence indicated in these statistics. Maybe I will try to dig in, but just don't have the time now.
