Lawsuits Over Tax Shelters Suggest Hard Sell by KPMG
It should be a dead giveaway that things are fishy when you are required to pay millions of dollars, sign a confidentiality agreement, and are barred from seeking a second opinion from any other experts in order to participate in a top secret tax savings plan. If you aren't allowed to verify the legality of a tax strategy with another independent source, that's a huge red flag that it's a crooked deal. Proceed any further at your own risk.
To be honest, I'm having the same feelings about the people who fall for these schemes as those who follow the tax protestor scamsters. Anyone that stupid really deserves to lose their money. I know it sounds cruel; but it's my Darwinian way of looking at the world and seeing that the smartest among us survive and the idiots don't. It's a kind of financial JackAss for weeding out those with too little intelligence to survive.
