ITIN Whistleblowers Confirming Suspicions

We all had our suspicions regarding the reasons for the recent announcement of the Interim Period during which drastic changes are affecting the ITIN process. Some of our early guesses circulated around fraud, of course, but it was only based on the fraud potential on the  “taxpayers” part, and not necessarily confirmed fraud.  A man, working for the ITIN department of the IRS, has reported being told to ignore blatant fraud, not question issues, assign numbers, and pay out liars.  His stories have been corroborated by several other tax examiners. Is this a license to steal? Yes, absolutely, when you can not rely on the nature of man to be honest and the regulating body of the IRS is amenable to the fraudulent actions!  Mr. Howard Antelis filed several complaints which went unheard, and then, he decided to contact the “higher ups.” An investigation is on-going, and a report is expected to be released with in the next couple months.
