Bruce Grant in Serious Hot Water in Chicago

I’ve begun so many stories of fraud the same way, “it’s a story we’ve come to know so well.”  I’m tired of all this fraud. I don’t know if it just seems that so many “big fish” have been caught lately, or the IRS is really cracking down, but I am, firstly, saddened by the misconduct of all people who financially benefit from engaging in practices that are unscrupulous, dishonest, and taxing, pardon the pun, on us all.  Secondly, I am angry that this is all I have to report. Fraud, fraud, fraud. What happened to crooks being smart or even diversity in crookery? Oh, I’m sure tax fraud crooks specialize in different areas, EITC maximization, fake business expenses, fake people, selling dependents, etc.  Sadly, after having been in this industry for a while, it really is easy to spot, but easier to do apparently. This is why we, as a society, must test on ethics. Enough said.

EITC maximization, falsifying business documents, fake dependents, these are all crimes that have been brought upon Bruce Grant, of Quick Check Limited, in Chicago. The Department of the Justice is seeking to shut him down. Grant’s Social Security number identified him as the paid preparer on 2,555 individual income tax returns prepared in 2011. Of these returns, 2,543 requested a refund, a refund rate of 99.5 percent.

Shut him down, and smack him in the face.
