That's one thing that really confuses me. There must be a law breaking line that pennies won't cross for some reason. Why not just provide false documents that show millions in revenue? I'm guessing that gets them in real trouble, when just operating as so many currently do, the "authorities" just look the other way?
Maybe Enron was the cautionary tale to everybody, but I'd be surprised if anyone directly involved in that operation is hurting at all at this point.
$9,800 is an expensive lesson--especially if it's in an IRA account. If it's cash, at least you can deduct it on your income tax return (if you haven't already). I'm hoping you have some huge gains to offset with it.
