<p>[QUOTE=&quot;fatima, post: 1366402, member: 22143&quot;]If it is the IRS bringing the charge, I don&#039;t understand why the case would be thrown out of court.&nbsp; No matter, in the Kahre case mentioned above, the IRS did not win any convictions.&nbsp; They brought charges against 9 people, 161 different charges, and the jury either acquitted the defendants or the jury was hung.&nbsp; The reason was that the law was not clear on the issue of circulating money gold coins.&nbsp;&nbsp; It was not deemed automatically bogus and tossed out of court.&nbsp; Everyone has the right to defend themselves in court. </p><p><br /></p><p>2 years later the IRS &amp; Justice department tried Kahre again along with his brother and girlfriend.&nbsp; The other 8 defendants were not prosecuted again.&nbsp; Kahre was convicted of numerous charges of tax fraud.&nbsp; &nbsp; I don&#039;t know where he stands on appeal, if any.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The point however is that while I too think it would be stupid to challenge the IRS in this manner, it is not the IRS that makes or judges guilt with the law.&nbsp; It is the congress and then it&#039;s the court that decides whether it applies or not and what penalties.&nbsp;&nbsp; I&#039;m of the opinion that a good CPA would advise someone to see a lawyer rather than give them direct legal advice.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
