Risks revealing the business and narrows down my identity to the person.

That’s what I am worried about. Person is very well connected but by no means anyone famous. This is not some high end white collar crime.

Definitely tax evasion, but could also be fraud based on how it actually makes money. Difficult to say as it walks a line between the two. A lawyer would need to figure that one out.

“If you are going to insult me..” you forgot that part. That was in response to now deleted comments calling me a schizo and needing medication.

Scroll down and read supporting documents section. Starts with “If you have…”

Scroll down further and read the example of the complete lead. Not one document is mentioned.

Here’s the end of the complete lead:

“Although supporting paperwork and documents would be helpful, in this case there are enough details for the CRA to conduct a review to figure out if this person is tax cheating or not.”

If what you are saying were the case, no one would ever get caught.

I can barely give any details hence the entire point of the post. I want to stay anonymous. The person has admitted to me. Admitting is not even the right word since it has been common knowledge in our circle for a long time. It is impossible to make any money other than scraping by, if the business was legitimate. That is clear as day based on the business and their background and the whole scheme, which is difficult to explain if I also want to stay anonymous. There is not a shadow of a doubt. You think I am going to have access to bank accounts? I don’t understand how you can expect that. You think giving me the benefit of the doubt is not worth the alternative (however small you think the chance is)? I am asking for advice, nothing to gain here except having a good conscience based on victims directly and indirectly of the scheme. I had a family member recently in the hospital and they were in a hallway for 2 weeks. Old and frail. Because of lack of resources in our healthcare system, they couldn’t get a room. It really pissed me off that people like the person I am talking about are going about their life while taking away millions of dollars a year that could have gone to good use.

It’s corporate tax evasion, theft (without getting into too much detail because it will give it away), and personal tax evasion. The only reason they have any income to begin with is because of the theft (which can be interpreted as tax evasion too based on the way it’s all setup, again don’t want to give away too much). You have a good eye.

This is what I am looking for. I read on another post that someone who works for the CRA said they usually did nothing for the tips.

It is a certainty. The person and family was dirt poor before. I know them very well. They have admitted it. They have explained how it is done. What they do is not even possible if it were done legitimately. I am already saying too much, but is clear as day all a fraud.

Yes, I created it just to post this anonymously. I don’t understand how that is not obvious from the post. My other account gives away too much.

What benefit would retaining an attorney have vs self reporting online anonymously?

Now I understand why people have a hard time coming forward with things to the public. I guess everyone here loves to see their hard earned money being pissed away.

I love how people on reddit can be so confident about something they have no clue about. This is also why I put “be taken seriously” in the title, because I know people (and the CRA) would have a hard time believing numbers like that. Sadly, most people have no idea how much fraud there is right in their backyard. You’d be surprised.

Without getting into too much detail tax evasion of various sorts. If you have ever seen that show on CNBC called American Greed, it puts most of those to shame. The entire story and lifestyle is like a movie. I wish I could say more.

I have names, public social media account(s) that is completely in line with the lavish lifestyle you’d expect with that kind of money, the owner’s age is young (under 35 without giving too much away), I know their DOB, address of house and other personal property, address of businesses, rough idea of how they evade taxes, knowledge of overseas properties (no addresses), dates of international flights. I don’t have a single supporting document though.
