That's nice, but let's get back to your observation the IRS could be involved and the results of a prosecution by a federal agency would result in prison sentences for 'paid' bashers.

And that the federal courts would be the jurisdiction take up the case of 'paid' bashers against P2O.

Your contention is the IRS will be involved. The IRS makes criminal prosecution recommendations to either the DOJ or US Attorney.

So if the IRS is somehow convinced to investigate do you feel the Dept of Justice or the US Attorney are the ones who will spend hundreds of thousands of dollars for a possible criminal prosecution of supposed 'paid' bashers ?

But we are getting ahead of ourselves.

Back to the IRS. Just what convincing documentation and evidence can be presented to them to open an investigation that someone profited illegally from posting on a stock message board ?

Just having a slew of 'documented' posts ain't enough.

Remember, somehow they must be shown a reasonable and somewhat verifiable piece of proof that illegal profits were obtained. ( ala Matt Brown who was actually caught by local authorities with too much loose cash on his person).

You can't just suggest to the IRS someone profited illegally. You have to give them a sane and verifiable reason to open an investigation.

And that means no talk of 'entities', 'pros', 'master', etc.
