I think all of us will have surprises in the future and it should be transparent.

I'm the one who made the "old fool" comment, and did read the entire examiner's report. I still believe in the "innocent until proven guilty" concept. I don't like it when a newspaper uses its journalistic pulpit to whipsaw people and cause consternation for its own commercial gain.
If this is an accounting dispute between the IRS and others, that will be determined according to the law. If there is anything beyond that, then the appropriate state and/or federal authorities will get involved.
So far only one side of the story has been heard, and that's of the IRS examiner, and based on only that side an "opinion" has been published. There's still a lot to hear before any real "truth" becomes evident, and everyone deserves that before being "opined" negatively.
