Don't Shoot Me, I'm the IRS Agent
Here are two things you should not say to an Internal Revenue Service officer if one shows up to ask you about an alleged tax liability of more than $100,000:
- "I should have killed you when I first met you."
- "If you show up again, I'll start shooting."
That's what Anthony Blasi, part owner of A. Blasi & Son Trucking & Earthmoving Inc., is accused of saying to a pair of IRS agents earlier this month. He could spend up to a year in prison and a be fined $100,000 if he's convicted on intimidation and interference charges.
