The IRS convicted one of their clients for tax evasion from 1996-2000 by using the firms services to set up off-shore accounts & shell companies. So the IRS filed a "John Doe" summons for the records of all their similar customers from 1995-2017!
The law firm has lost it's legal fight as of last week & will have to provide the identities of the clients to the IRS. Piercing their claim of attorney client privilege as they were acting as accountants/tax preparers not attorneys! mahanyertl.com/2019/john-doe-…
So now they are going to have to provide the list of clients who they helped set up off-shore accounts for over 22 years!
So this case will obviously build into other clients & customers who were evading taxes & laundering money through these shell companies. leagle.com/decision/infdc…
This is not to say that the law firm was engaged in criminal activity, but their otherwise legal services may have been used to set up tax evasion schemes. But would you be surprised their address is a shared office space in a big office building...
The IRS has been using a bunch of "John Doe" summons lately. Including on US banks to get the identities of card holders in Finland & Denmark who are using credit cards in the name of off-shore shell companies to spend money without it being traceable.

Wait until they figure out that Microsoft's 3rd party vendor licensing programs are designed to hide bribery & give them plausible deniability whenever their vendors get caught.
Business, government, educational software licenses are rife with kickbacks.
#ButNothingsHappening
Essentially the scheme works by Microsoft giving a vendor permission to provide the software licenses at a discount. The vendor then charges the customer full price, & the discounted amount is then used to pay bribes to purchasing authorities.
Enemy insurgents are not civilians. They are war criminals for posing as civilians while engaged in combat. Why is that a war crime? Because it increases the odds of real civilians being mistaken for combatants.
Wikileaks used distraction techniques to create a false narrative. They pointed to a camera, while the pilots talked about observing weapons. To distract people from the real weapons the group was carrying & trick them into thinking the pilots pretended the camera was a weapon.
The insurgent I circles has an AK. He's trying to hide it against his body, but if you watch the video you can see it repeatedly.
This campaign to hack & intimidate US political officials goes back to at least 2010.
Wonder how much fake news was created using information cleaned from those hacks with false narratives added that half the population will always believe because it's the other party?
Targeting elected politicians, government officials, journalists & academics...
Looks like FBI successfully penetrated Advanced Persistent Threat group 31 to identify individual hackers. A few of them at least.
