NY Tax Dept's Hierarchical Ranking of Fraud?

commentary by Roger Erickson

Detect retailers who are under-reporting sales.

New York State tax department attacks fraud on new front.

Is there a cloaking shield around Wall St.? Does The Fraud have a strong effect on the weak minded?

Lord have mercy on the rest of us. Don't get caught stealing pennies (or a loaf of bread), or the people stealing dollars (and whole railroads) will either lock you up, or gun you down with drones.

Wasn't there something biblical, about motes in other's eyes, vs logs in our own?

What is it about an Upper Looting Class that can innately sense and is outraged by a missing penny from a poor person's transactions, but is curiously blind to fraud of epic proportions?  Are we adding Control Fraud to Lies in the category of things that, if big enough, are easier to accept?  Our core problem may be a propensity to believe in miracles, good or bad.
