An IRS Agent was caught cheating on his taxes and before the case was even assigned to the judge he copped a plea for a lesser punishment. Jim H. Liu, 43 of Diamond Bar CA, filed a plea bargain in Santa Ana, CA in hopes of averting up to three years in a federal prison. The agreement included admission of filing falsified tax returns that caused the government to lose $14,642.88. Unfortunately, he does not have the final word on this matter. The presiding judge may decline this plea. Per the agreement, Mr. Liu agrees to pay for the amount lost and agrees to forfeit all his federal benefits. He is also subject to other collateral effects such as deportation and revocation of any professional license.
At the very least he should spend a few days in jail. All the other IRS Employees need to know that if they do something that violates the "Tax Codes", they will spend some time in jail. If they knew there was a chance that they may end up being the sex slave to some drug king-pin already in prison because of tax evasion, they’ll think twice. As it is, jail time wasn't enough of a deterrent.
