Lescut, the scenario that you just spelled out is pretty common in Florida, we have high W/C rates and the lowlife think that they are going to fool the world with their shady bookkeeping, it may work for a while, but those folks usually end up on the short end of the stick.

I live just down the street from darryl and unfortunately more make it than get caught, kind of like a once in a liftime bank robbery. Many years ago I worked for one that made it, flipped everything into property and bugged out. He's a multi-millionare now and they say that crime doesn't pay.
Most of the crooks that I know of got busted for being too greedy and didn't pay their sales tax. Evidently you can get by screwing people as long as you don't stick it to the gov't.

It is very illegal. Call the IRS. They might like to meet with him on this issue. Also, tell him to learn how to price and sell a job, for chit's sake.

Call the IRS. They might like to meet with him on this issue.

The last that I knew, the IRS was offering rewards for these guys. I think that it was 10% of whatever they were found to owe.

Rewards? I know about a thousand of them here in Will county.
