For the record when this dude was purveying PICO (and other shelters) he may have believed they were aggressive but there is no way he believed them to be criminal tax fraud at the time. Interestingly, PICO may meet the requirements of the new codified economic substance law. Of course, when the prosecutors tell you what to say to get no jail time, all that goes out the window. Being a rat is bad enough but when one lies to get no jail time at the expense of others lives, it is unconscionable. The American justice system is based on incomprehensible laws, a jury with nothing else to do with their time, negative inferences and bribed lying criminal witnesses; true justice.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
