Two tax protesters found guilty

On 7 April Sean David Morton was found guilty of one count of conspiracy to defraud the United States, two counts of filing false claims against the United States, and 26 counts of passing false or fictitious financial instruments.

Last Friday Winston Shrout was found guilty on 13 counts of issuing false financial statements and 6 counts of willful failure to file a tax return.

Both these frauds were on board the ConspiraSea cruise a year ago, lecturing on tax avoidance. Both have made decent money by persuading suckers that their methods were foolproof. They're going to jail.

Not if I was on that jury.

You have to exercise the rights you have, which practically NO ONE ever does. These "gurus" are very dangerous as they sell what they interpret as truth; sometimes making it up as they go. It all sounds great but in the end, you are ultimately responsible for your actions.

I would start with this:

Very informative read with law to back it up. WE HAVE choices....we don't have to be "slaves" to the system.
