(I will not spell out how, but it's pretty simple and obvious.) So why are they treating me and others who voluntarily revealed accounts they would have never found out about, in an honest effort to correct honest mistakes, like they treat willful evaders? They are simply motivating those who made mistakes to become willful.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
