Biden’s IRS levies $2.72 million fine when it should have been $50,000; appeal goes to Supreme Court WASHINGTON, DC- This week, the United States Supreme Court agreed to hear the case of a Romanian-American businessman who was fined $50,000 by the Internal Revenue Service for allegedly failing to file tax forms on time.
To make matters much worse, an appeals court increased the fine to $2.72 million, claiming the fine should have been levied based on the number of bank accounts he held as opposed to the number of forms he had failed to file in a timely manner, the Epoch Times reports.
The Biden administration, in an apparent attempt to squeeze as much money out of people as possible, spoke out in favor of the confiscatory fine and asked the high court to refuse to take the case. The case, Bittner v. United States of America is an appeals case from the Fifth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals.
The justices didn’t explain in the order, which was not signed, why they had agreed to hear the case, as is typical procedure when deciding writs of certiorari for SCOTUS review.
The case involves Alexandru Bittner, who was born in communist Romania and who moved to the United States in his youth. He initially worked as a dishwasher, and later on as a plumber. He eventually became a naturalized citizen in the U.S. and maintains dual U.S. and Romanian citizenship.
After the Soviet Union collapsed in 1990, Bittner returned to his homeland, living there for about 20 years until late 2011. Bittner became a successful business owner, and had a number of non-U.S. personal bank accounts and owned stock in a number of Romanian corporations where he also maintained foreign bank accounts. During his time abroad, Bittner maintained limited contact within the United States.

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
