And we are still back at "what consequences?"
People can "what if" the situation to death, and still be wrong. If the IRS and TV negotiate an arrangement, that's business. It happens whenever a business wants to cut its costs in defending an action, and the IRS knows it. If there was true "bad faith" here, the matter would be in the hands of the U.S. Attorney's Office, not the money-collectors.
So, the matter will continue until it ends. If the TV "government" made a mistake, why is that a surprise? Has anyone ever lived anywhere where the local government didn't make mistakes which either raised taxes, impacted services, or caused layoffs? Why is there an expectation that the TV government would be "perfect" in every way?
The lawyers for TV and the IRS will resolve the matter, because neither side wants to look stupid in public, and whatever the arrangement is (from dropping the matter to settlement at $___) , both sides will issue statements to their advantage - - and t matter will be "old news" in a day.
Maybe I'm living in a fog, but I just don't see anything happening which will cause me to change my style of living here. Let the games continue...
