How many executives work for the Trump organization? Was anyone besides the CFO found guilty of a crime rarely prosecuted by the government (the standard process is to present a bill for back taxes, interest, and penalties). I wonder why this time is different.

I have never seen an audit by the IRS that did not reclassify some expenses as compensation. Though frankly this case was a bit extreme, usually it involves personal use of a company jet, car, or travel and entertainment whose business purpose is unclear. How about the "free coffee" in the employee lounge?

But it involved the CFO, who was responsible for preparing the tax filings, it does seem like the CFO (one individual) was guilty of the crime. How putting a 75-year-old in jail is going to make the world a better and safer place when violent criminals are being released on no bail is hard to imagine.

As someone who ran companies, perhaps my employees should thank me for eliminating virtually employee benefits that were not universal. Yes, I did provide my employees free coffee and at today's prices... an employee drinking three cups of java a day enjoyed a benefit worth $1000-3000. I wonder if the IRS and state are going to pursue the secretaries of my company and demand back taxes for the coffee they drank?
