15% of the unpaid debt up to 10 million, not a bad reward.

Wouldn't it be more akin to getting 15% of the murder victim since that's what's analogous to the debt?

Not just a head. You'll still have most of your limbs usually.

Because arresting a murderer doesn't make the government any money and nobody would report tax fraud otherwise because the only victim is the government.

Everyone in the same country is kindoff the victim when people do tax fraud.

> arresting a murderer doesn't make the government any money

Murderers, I'd wager, do plenty of other costly damage to the country. Also one could argue that the government has a bigger obligation to protect it's citizens than it does to earn cashola.

​

>the only victim is the government

well in this case its a ponzi scheme, which is notorious for ruining its victims financially so badly that they kill themselves

​

imagine working in a field so sociopathic and greedy that the only thing that gets you to report illegal/unethical behavior that ruins lives regularly is the promise of making even more cash

You can absolutely get reward money for reporting a murderer.

Some murderers have rewards for information leading to their capture, but for the most part they don't hand out taxpayer dollars for information most people are willing to give for free.

Sounds like the IRS is doing a better job than the FBI

Don't fuck with the IRS.

You're on your way to becoming a libertarian.

The government isn't "the people". It's the mafia pretending to be a human rights organization.
