> you don't see me trying to make it look like going to the restaurant with my kids is a business expense I've seen a company exec cheat on his wife with a paid hooker on a holiday to Hawaii make it a business expense (both paying the hooker and the holiday itself) and treating the hooker bad enough the company got sued for sexual harassment (because they paid the hooker, that means ... you can fill in, and no it doesn't matter if they "knew" they were doing it or not), AND not getting fired for it. And while this is a tax offense, the idea of him getting sued by the IRS for this is sadly almost absurd. They might do it if they catch him in a lot bigger problems as well, but not likely. Purely coincidentally, currently in the newspaper, 72 year old millionnaire getting sued for running a company building luxury hotels, collecting unemployment, and charging a government-funded not-for-profit ~1 million euros for consultation services while not registering the income in his personal income statement for taxes. Ironically, this is happened 9 years ago and 7 months, so if the government made even a small error in this case it will be forgiven (which is a near guarantee). Just because you consider something cheating doesn't mean everybody does, or even that it's a common view, or that it's a crime.
