The Internal Revenue Service is demanding a whopping $7 billion or more in back taxes from the worlds most profitable hedge fund, whose bosss wealth and cyber savvy helped Donald Trump pole-vault into the White House.
Suddenly, the governments seven-year pursuit of Renaissance Technologies LLC is blanketed in political intrigue, now that the hedge funds reclusive, anti-establishment co-chief executive, Robert Mercer, has morphed into a political force who might be owed a big presidential favor.
With Trump in the Oval Office, Mercer and his daughter Rebekah, who has become his public voice, seem armed with political firepower every which way you look and thats even though presidential adviser Stephen Bannon, their former senior executive and political strategist, appears to have recently lost influence.
The Mercer Family Foundation, run by Rebekah Mercer, also has donated millions of dollars to conservative nonprofit groups that have called for the firing of IRS Commissioner John Koskinen, an Obama administration holdover whose five-year term expires in November.

(16,179 posts)It bugs me that trump had to get elected PRESIDENT before prosecution. We need faster justice for white collar crime. When they get away with it, it enriches them, they get more powerful, they do their damage, and our economy and society remains polluted by corruption.
Faster justice would get them out of society faster, AND would send a stronger message to others who want to do the same.
