The US government could put pressure on India to clamp down on the scammers on their home turf. |

It's the wrong approach - no country wants another pushing them around. Whether it's fentanyl manufacturing in china, scammers in India or Nigeria, cartels in Mexico. |

[quote author=David Hess link=topic=274214.msg3522882#msg3522882 Something could be done, but the mules are not making enough to be required to file income tax and the courts lack jurisdiction over the people making the calls who do so outside of the country. If they are making enough, then they could just file for income tax. [/quote] What is the maximum income someone can make before they are required to file an income tax statement in the US? Not before they are required to PAY taxes but to make a written, legal declaration of their income to the IRS. Do the math, the mule in the video said that she was making $75 to $100 per package and doing up to seven packages a day. That's at least $525 per day. Even if she only works 100 days of the year that's still $52,500. And that's on top of any other income that she has. And you also need to consider state, and in some areas, local income tax reporting requirements. Actually, curiosity got the better of me so I went and looked and here is the answer: "In the year 2018, the maximum earning before paying taxes for a single person under the age of 65 was $12,000." "If they are making enough, then they could just file for income tax." Yeah, so could drug dealers. Do you want to make a bet as to how of them report their income to the IRS? |

It's actually illegal to not declare illegally gained earnings to the IRS. So if you're dealing illegal drugs and get caught, not only will the courts hang you out to dry, but the IRS will want the taxes legally due, on your illegal income. And you can't even expense the fines! |

--- Quote ---It's actually illegal to not declare illegally gained earnings to the IRS. --- End quote --- But if your only income is from illegal activities how can the tax man get paid,as the only money you have is raised from illegal activities ,so the tax man would also be benefiting from illegal activities |
