http://www.losthorizons.com/phpBB/viewt ... 360c#25647Folks,
I know of one case in Virginia that is something everyone should take into consideration.
A friend filed several years both CTC and other. The aunties [Internal Revenue Service] sent agents to his business and scared him into settling. He sold virtually everything to get the $$$ together and he is still making payments.
Now, he is being hauled into Criminal Court. He believes he managed to * them off...so after having their way with him in Tax Court, getting a boat load of money, they are now going to get him on felony charges.
The thing to take away from this is simple - auntie will do what they want when they want to, and to whom they want to. Thus, IMHO turning away from the Truth and taking the route they want you to take does not help you - it may even set you up for more trials & tribulations.
Of course - only you can decide what the Truth is...and how you will deal with it. However, expecting a beast not to follow it's [sic] nature...because you fed it a morsel...is like trying to tickle a shark - on the inside.
Regards,
Tim

Tim Whitney's web site indicates his own location is Warrenton, Virginia. See:

It makes sense that if Tim works or lives at Warrenton, he would have friends in Warrenton. It just so happens that a chiropractor by the name of Michael I. O'Daniel, who once had a practice in Warrenton, Virginia, was indicted on June 23, 2010, in the United States District Court for the Western District of Virginia in Charlottesville (case no. 3:10-cr-00017), on one count of corrupt or forcible interference under 26 USC 7212(a), four counts of fraud and false statements under 26 USC 7206(1), and three counts of uttering fictitious obligations with intent to defraud under 18 USC 514(a)(2).
The indictment charges, among other things, that O'Daniel filed false Form 1040 returns (A) for 2001 (wherein he falsely reported his income as being only $20 and included fifteen "corrected" Form 1099 reports showing "zero" income); (B) for 2002 (wherein he falsely reported his income as being only $17 and included twenty-nine "corrected" Form 1099 reports showing "zero" income); (C) for 2003 (falsely reported income as $140 and seventeen "corrected" 1099s); and (D) similar acts for his 2004 Form 1040.
O'Daniel is also charged with submitting "Prepaid Foreign bills of exchange" to the IRS to pay his taxes -- including one for over $50,000 and another for over $68,000.
O'Daniel is also alleged to have failed to withhold taxes from employees, and to have failed to file W-2s for employees.
Back in 2007, O'Daniel had sued certain IRS employees in Charlottesville, Virginia in state court. The case was, of course, removed to federal district court (as case no. 3:07-cv-00018-nkm-bwc, in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Virginia). O'Daniel was upset because the IRS had filed notices of federal tax liens against him. His filings in this civil case include the usual collection of tax protester gibberish. In this case, he later asked for (and received) a dismissal of the lawsuit.
Tim Whitney mentioned that his friend had been in Tax Court. The U.S. Tax Court does show a case involving a Michael O'Daniel. It's case no. 000809-06 (and it was pro se, of course). It was filed in January 2006 and dismissed in April 2006.
I haven't had a chance to review everything, but there are indications that O'Daniel was taking stances consistent with the Hendrickson Cracking the Code tax scam.
EDIT: I corrected a typo above, on the statute citation on the counts of fraud and false statements; citation changed from "26 USC 7216(1)" to "26 USC 7206(1)". And "7217(a)" corrected to read "7212(a)." I must have been half asleep when I posted this last night.
