The Doctor had committed no crime…
So the government INVENTED one!!
If you missed part one, you might want to check it out. A respected South Dakota physician is whisked away by Federal agents, who “capture” him as he and his wife conclude a normal day at the office.
Now, part two:
Dr. Mark recognized one of the arresting agents. He was the same agent who had come to his office some months before. The agent had intimidated his staff, and tried to convince the Doctor to testify in a case pending in court against a man he once had employed as his accountant/tax attorney (we will call him “Mr. K”).
The agent had come there to reiterate an “offer” that the IRS would leave Dr. Mark alone if he would do their bidding. Dr. Mark was being asked to trade someone else’s misery for his own peace and security. The details of the “deal”, as the agent was calling it, revealed that it wasn’t the truth the IRS actually wanted; the goal was to get a conviction.
Dr. Mark asked him, point blank, “Do you want me to lie for you?” The agent replied: “You’re a smart guy. You know what this is about….” Dr. Mark protested that he had done nothing wrong, so why should he have to accept any “offer” that required him to lie for them? Assuming that Dr. Mark would change his mind, the agent laid his card on the desk, and with a smug grin, turned and left.
Dr. Mark was taken aback at that thought….everything he had done with his taxes was legal; he had paid good money to financial and legal professionals to make sure of it! And yet, there was the threat. It was intimated that the IRS would find “something” with which to charge him if he did not agree to “play ball”.
With Dr. Mark’s arrest, the threat became a reality.
He had committed no crime, so the Government agents invented one.
Do you think this could only happen to “someone else”, or that it really doesn’t happen at all? Guess again! One very similar story is that of Howell W. Woltz.
Could you be next??
Stay tuned for part three.
