“You read the quotes from his lawyer,” Barnes reveals, “and this is the evidence of someone trying to comply with the law, not someone trying to not comply with the law.”

What This Means for Every American
Barnes outlines four immediate threats to anyone who relies on professional advice:

Small Business Owners

Your consultations with tax attorneys can be seized

Your compliance efforts become evidence against you

Even following advice perfectly offers no protection

International Business

Complex regulations require expert guidance

That guidance can later be used to prosecute you

No “safe harbor” even when following professional advice
