"Each brother faces "a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison for each count," the DOJ said." 😬 They will be going in for a long time.

Thomas Fattorusso of the IRS Criminal Investigation (IRS-CI) New York Field Office, said that investigators "simply followed the money." 🔎💸

    The people with money make the laws. They want to protect their money above all else, so crimes against their money are punished more harshly than others. Note this doesn't happen when people with money steal from poor people en masse.
