> [@Typo\_Negative](#): > > Turns out that when you get income illegally, you still have to pay taxes on it. Yup, that’s part of what money laundering is about. Find a way to make illegal income look legal, and paying taxes is part of that. If you are making a ton of money, and you are a conspicuous spender, but there is no apparent income on the books to account for it and you’re not paying taxes, you might as well wear an “I Am A Criminal” t-shirt and eat your lunch right outside of a federal law enforcement building. ---

The tractor trailer was unsuccessful of clearing the railroad tracks and was hit by the train… One might think, ‘Oh, I’m hauling a 134-foot concrete beam. I’d better stop for the light _before_ the tracks.’ But not this guy.
