From the article:
Since Henline [Shauna Henline, Senior Technical Coordinator in the IRS Frivolous Return Program] became involved with this IRS program in 2001, Brousseau [IRS senior tax analyst Rae Brousseau] said she [Henline] has been directly or indirectly responsible for more than $300 million in penalties assessed against individuals filing frivolous returns, and hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue protected by preventing or recovering claims related to frivolous filings.
