IRS Demands Identities of All US Coinbase Traders Over Three Year Period

• orbitingpluto 10y ago
  "The IRS further justifies its request by claiming it is targeted toward a specific group of people; namely, US taxpayers who have conducted transactions with virtual currency." How about IRS makes requests to people who live in homes worth over a certain amount of money who pay absolutely no taxes. At least my suggestion isn't a wild goose chase. "Targeting a specific group of people," never turns out to work fairly for those targeted for some reason.

    Jeez, that sounds so much like a writ of assistance (which is what inspired the Fourth Amendment), it's ridiculous on its face that anyone would grant a warrant like that.

    The IRS already knows how much you paid for your house.
