That’s government logic. Also in the first half hour of prison the Feds printed up 1 million dollars and dumped it into the market to ‘stimulate’ the economy.

“No danger to anyone”?!? Taxes are the price we pay for civilization. Every time someone cheats on their taxes, the rest of us have to pay more. “[T]he Treasury Department estimates a $1 investment in the IRS’s enforcement ability returns $6 in revenue, and that’s not counting the deterrent effect on potential cheats, which Treasury says may be three times higher.” – Money Magazine (4/13/15)

Convicted felon Martha Stewart went to prison for that same amount. It was for insider trading, but the same amount.
