Mottahedeh, Peymon

[Hyrion]

EDIT 2: For some reason, I still can't come up with a limerick for Peymon Mottahedeh.

Here's a canadian rhyme that would kinda fit:

• pay man, what a head, eh?

Of course, I'm assuming how his name is pronounced and don't know for sure.... literary license.

"My name is Peymon Mottahedeh,
but my day in court was no heyday.
I made a brilliant appeal,
but the judge said 'big deal'.
Now the tax man is coming on pay day."

[The Observer]

The Mottahedeh's appeal to the 9th circuit is apparently underway:

22039-11
Peymon Mottahedeh & April Mottahedeh
(T.C. Memo 2014-258 -- Judge Morrison)
(Order and decision entered 1/28/15 -- Judge Morrison)
9th Circuit 5/6/16 Taxpayer v. Commissioner

(Order and decision entered 1/28/15 -- Judge Morrison)
9th Circuit 5/6/16 Taxpayer v. Commissioner

The Court of Appeals Docket Number is 16-71381.

On May 17, 2016, an order to show cause was issued by the Ninth Circuit regarding the non-payment of the filing fee. The Mottahedehs have 21 days to either file a motion to proceed in forma pauperis or pay the $500 filing fee to the Tax Court.

The 9th Circuit Appeal was dismissed as premature by order dated 9/26/2016. Apparently no final decision document was entered in the Tax Court:

Mottahedeh and Freedom Law School provide William Waller with support/legal defense at his criminal tax trial, to no avail:

Peymon's legal track record being what it is, I would presume zip all, should have been a warning, but Peymon talks a good game even though he never seems to be able to come through. I had kind of thought/hoped he had gone on to some other scam since the lawyerin' wasn't turning out so well for him. I guess it is true what they say, they just never learn.

For Peymon, this is a business and how he makes money off people. He will not give it up since he has nothing to fall back on. Of course one may wonder why a person who cannot conjure a win for their own tax issues still has followers willing to give him money for their tax issues. The explanation was provided a long time ago by Phineas T. Barnum.

I read an article, when I was a teenager in the 60s, written about conmen; and one of them, also a professional gambler, was quoted that you had to make the mark WANT to give you his money. He'd work the transatlantic trade; and when he was invited to play cards, he'd decline, saying that he was a professional gambler. Of course, this made the marks drool at the chance of going up against one of them; and after the marks had drooled enough, the pro would clean them out.

[notorial dissent]

There is a difference between warning them beforehand though, the gambler, and flat out lying to them like Peymon and the rest do, but I see what you mean.

[Pottapaug1938]

The warning was part of the hustle -- it made the marks MORE eager, rather than less, to play cards with the gambler.

True, but he wasn't lying to them to start with, he came right out and told them he was going to be taking their money. Peymon lies all the way through.
