Did you create three shell companies in different states, some with no reporting requirements, in order to carry out this purchase? Your point is a good one.

Your point is a good one. But it's hard for the nonspecialist to avoid associating this kind of tax avoidance with the behavior of Enron sometime back.
- koenigdavidmj 13y agoWhen somebody gets busted for computer hacking, the common line on here is that an activity's difficulty has very little to do with its legality. A for loop and curl are really simple, but just as illegal under the right circumstances. You're doing the same thing: suggesting that the ethicality of a practice depends on its legal complexity.
- allochthon 13y agoI think my qualm has to do with the impression that the legal complexity is being used to subvert the manifest intent of the tax law. This in my mind is neither black nor white -- it's in the gray area of the law. But I'm not a lawyer.
