Does a CON ARTIST have to pay TAXES on what they STOLE?
Yeah, that is taxable income as well. All income must be declared and the taxes paid, even illegal income. Drug dealers learn a hard lesson on that one, as do scam artists once they’re caught. Al Capone couldn’t be nailed for his numerous crimes, but fell “victim” to the IRS in the end and was jailed for tax evasion. Where he died of 3rd stage syphilis by the way — a pretty nasty way to go. BTW, you have no basis for suing her for the insurance claims paid in error after she was removed from the policy. The insurance company certainly does, but you do not.
