The article says "criminal tax fraud". It also says the 1.6m is a maximum fine. I guess that must be in the relevant laws. It would be crippling for a small business.

Very tight in GA with 85% of the vote in, but a lot of Atlanta area vote still to come.

NY Times has Warnock strong favourite at this point, but it depends on turnout in Atlanta.

Would be nice if the Dems have that Senate seat for the next six years with a tough map in '24.

Fox and MSNBC both calling it for Warnock

Throw in Ossoff's seat from 2020 too.

And what could have been competitive governors races in PA, WI and AZ.

So much winning!

Good for them.

I wonder did they use undercover police in their investigations?

Some around here seem to consider that illegitimate. At least when it comes to butter-wouldn't-melt-in-their-mouth US far right militia types.
