That a government agency shouldn't knowingly lie to try and get a piece of the pie. They shouldn't artificially inflate a tax bill so that they can have more leverage. There is no doubt in anyone's mind that that tax bill isn't real, it's obviously a negotiation tactic to try and get a larger cut. I don't think that's something that a government agency should do, even if the target is a giant fraud. 44B$ is more then FTX's ever had in assets, it's definitely more then they had in revenue and more then they probably ever paid employees. And taxes should be a fraction of that on top of what they probably did pay.
