The IRS sent armed agents into a family bakery and drained $68,382 from its bank account.
Their “crime”? Depositing their OWN CASH in amounts under $10,000.
Then the government demanded ANOTHER $160,000 and a guilty plea to a FELONY.
The IRS called it “structuring”: deliberately keeping deposits small to dodge bank reporting rules.
DAVID VOCATURA: “I said to them, ‘Maybe I should get a lawyer.’ And they said, ‘You don’t need one, step in the back.’”
“Until the day they came in, I had no idea what structuring was.”
“I’m a law-abiding citizen. I can’t remember the last time I got a speeding ticket.”
Nearly three years after seizing the money, a prosecutor came back with a deal that carried up to FOUR YEARS IN PRISON:
DAVID VOCATURA: “They wanted us to pay another additional $160,000 in fines and plead to a felony charge of structuring.”
They refused.
You bake bread for three generations.
You pay your taxes.
You put your own money in the bank.
And the IRS treats you like a criminal, demanding nearly a quarter million dollars.
CONTEXT: Fortunately, the IRS didn’t get away with this one. Hours after the Institute for Justice sued, the IRS agreed to return all $68,382.22. Two weeks later, it withdrew a grand jury subpoena demanding eight years of the bakery’s business records. Crazy that they tried to ruin a business over depositing money into their own bank account.
A 19-year-old college freshman reported her coach for touching her inappropriately during practice.
The athletic department called it a “misunderstanding.”
He kept coaching.
She was benched for “team drama.”
Two months later, three other girls came forward.
The school launched an “internal review.”
He quietly resigned with a letter of recommendation.
But please, tell me again how institutions “take student safety seriously.”
I’ll never forget the day a woman came in with her husband, complaining of pain at her C-section wound. As I tried to examine her abdomen, she pushed my hand away and asked when the doctor was coming. Mind you, my name was on my scrubs. 😂
The nurse assisting me immediately asked, “So the person standing in front of you is a pastor?”
Silence. Then cooperation. 😂😭
white lady in my city moved into a historically black neighborhood and started harassing the HBCU students about where they parked. someone confronted her and she replied "THIS IS OUR NEIGHBORHOOD!!!" ...shittt they been at her neck ever since 😂😂
Y'all the Kelly Clarkson cctv footage dropped and not only is Kelly very clearly telling the truth, she walks around the store and puts the multiple items she planned to purchase back where she found them.
If you've worked one shift in retail you know how rare that is for anyone, let alone an upset customer.
