Please DonateU.S. loses $2.3 trillion in tax revenue due to strategic mispricing of international trade goods, according to FIU professor
MIAMI, Aug. 2, 2016 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — Trillions of dollars may be missing from U.S. government coffers due to widespread corporate tax evasion and criminal money laundering strategies.
FIU College of Business professor John Zdanowicz conducted an analysis of 12 years’ worth of U.S. Customs data and found that abnormally priced goods imported and exported by U.S. companies are masking complex tax avoidance strategies that have cost the U.S. government more than $2.3 trillion in revenue from 2003 to 2014.
Called false invoicing, it is the same kind of scheme used to fund domestic terrorism by moving money into the U.S., and moving proceeds of illegal activities, such as drug profits, out of the United States undetected.
“Criminals and tax evaders have discovered that laundering money through the banking system is dangerous, especially with the new financial institution reporting requirements under the Patriot Act and other banking regulations,” Zdanowicz said. “However, moving money through international trade can be virtually undetectable.”

Please DonateTech company accuses US Navy of software piracy, seeks $596 million damages
A $596 million lawsuit claims that the U.S. Navy has engaged in software piracy.
The suit against the U.S. Government, filed by Bitmanagement Software, alleges that the Navy copied and installed the company’s virtual reality software on hundreds of thousands of computers for which it does not have a license.
In 2011 and 2012 Bitmanagement agreed to license its BS Contact Geo software to the Navy on “a limited and experimental” basis, according to court documents.

Please DonateFormer Fox News commentator sentenced to nearly 3 years for lying about CIA ties
An Annapolis man who falsely claimed to work for the CIA was sentenced Friday to nearly three years in prison as a result of fraud convictions related to his deceptions.
A federal judge sentenced Wayne Shelby Simmons, a 62-year-old whose claims of CIA work propelled him into a guest slot as a terrorism analyst on Fox News and to work as a defense contractor, to 33 months in prison.
While Simmons entered a guilty plea to the charges in April, averting what would have been an intriguing trial that likely could have featured testimony from high profile witnesses including CIA employees and Army Gen. Stanley McChrystal, he has maintained in court documents that he did work for the CIA for 27 years. In court filings, Simmonsdetailed several operations he claimed to have worked on — ranging from an undercover investigation of a heroin- and arms-trafficking organization involving Iranian criminals active in D.C. in the 1980s to an intelligence-gathering mission involving Kazakh officials in the 1990s.
