Preet Bharara @PreetBharara ·31s - I’m not optimistic that Weisselberg will flip but I am optimistic he’ll be convicted. The law is fairly clear on what is income & what is taxable. He’s a sophisticated executive; mistake is implausible. The company booked much of it as income. And juries hate rich tax cheats.

It is worse since Vance included the IRS taxes underpaid which he can't collect on their behalf but now that cat is out of the bag.

The underpaid taxes were only $900K. But now with P&I they have grown to $1.7M. And that grows every day until he stops the bleeding and writes the check. At this point he should pay off the taxes due then fight it out in court.


It is sheer stupidity that he kept a separate set of books for his tax avoidance.

I'd love to see how Donald's IRS audits are working out for him now that Vance has pointed out the obvious.

Meanwhile the 2 dimwits admit to tax avoidance as no big deal.
