IRS wants Whistleblower cases and this announcement is meant to have potential Whistle blowers come forward.
The largest single Whistle Blower claim was just announced and the IRS paid the whistle blower $104 million. Now that’s a whistle.
The Case that was exposed: exposing foreign accounts through UBS. Yes, the case.
Tax Attorneys and Tax Lawyers for a whistle blower Bradley Birkenfeld claims the Internal Revenue Service has awarded their client $104 million for providing information regarding UBS.
This Whistle blower case appears to be the single largest award ever paid out.
Ex-Swiss banker Bradley Birkenfeld is credited with exposing widespread tax evasion at Swiss bank UBS AG.
Bradley Birkenfeld himself served about two and-a-half years in prison for a fraud conspiracy conviction related to the case, which resulted in a $780 million fine against the bank and an unprecedented agreement requiring UBS to turn over thousands of names of suspected American tax dodgers and tax cheats to the IRS.
