FEDERAL COURT SHUTS DOWN NORTH CAROLINA TAX PREPARER Elm City Man Promoted “Concept Marketing International” Tax Scam  WASHINGTON – A federal court has permanently barred Raymond A. Renfrow of Elm City, N.C., from preparing federal income tax returns for others, the Justice Department announced today. The U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina entered the civil injunction order, which also stops Renfrow from promoting a tax fraud scheme that used sham trusts to falsely deduct customers’ non-deductible personal expenses. The court found that Renfrow prepared tax returns for customers that have caused an estimated loss to the U.S. Treasury of more than $1.4 million. The court said that Renfrow’s false tax returns were based on three tax schemes he promoted for Concept Marketing International (CMI), a company that operated a multi-level marketing scheme involving the sale of American Eagle silver coins. The court stated that the tax schemes falsely purported to enable participants to take tax deductions for the cost of coins they bought, to deduct non-deductible personal living expenses, and to use sham trusts to exempt income and assets from taxation. James E. Aldridge Jr., a founder of CMI, was found guilty of tax-related criminal charges in 2007 by a federal jury in Kansas City, Mo. He is currently serving a prison sentence. The court found that CMI’s trust scheme was promoted in conjunction with Trust Education Services and National Trust Services. Information on injunctions involving those businesses is available at http://www.usdoj.gov/tax/prtax/txdv03332.htm and http://www.usdoj.gov/tax/txdv04081.htm. The court also required Renfrow to give the Justice Department a list of his customers’ names, addresses, e-mail addresses and Social Security numbers. John DiCicco, Acting Assistant Attorney General for the Justice Department’s Tax Division, thanked former Tax Division trial attorney Frederick Noyes, who handled the case for the government, and Kathy A. Grimaldi, a revenue agent with the Internal Revenue Service’s Small Business/Self-Employed Division, who investigated the case. Over the past decade, the Justice Department has obtained injunctions against more than 380 tax return preparers and tax-fraud promoters. Information about these cases is available on the Justice Department Web site.

Oh my!
Wait I have to stop laughing and take a second to change my underwear.
Okay, better now.
First, I hope this bodes poorly for Tony and his trial. I am sure phonys ss# and trust info will be included with rayray's files.
Second, what no jail time of large fine for RayRay?

I am sure one of us shall come upon the list of customers[I hope]. Ray Ray,maybe one day you and your brother can help your host [the warden and guards] with their taxes.

it could not have happened to a nicer person

Er..."March 11 2009"?

Doesn't appear to have had much effect. Last I heard he was still offering tax advice.

That is great. I hope he just keeps on going. Nothing like a federal judge mad at you.

Yes he is.  And at the tune of $499 per person.

Darn. Really must pay attention to the dates. Just as his brother,they probably will never sleep in jail without awaiting bond.

Dinar Daily's search and google! It's not really that hard if you know which keywords to use.

Isn't amazing what you can find when you begin to ask questions?

Birds of a feather.........

How about we shut him down again?

From http://www.justice.gov/tax/program-shut-down-schemes-and-scams:

"If you believe that one of the enjoined persons or businesses listed below may be violating an injunction, please contact the Tax Division with details at TAX.MAIL@USDOJ.gov

Raymond A Renfrow is on the list.

I called the office of the judge who signed the permanent injunction order (Flanagan in North Carolina) and I was informed that the judge's office would not reopen a case, that I had to take it to an attorney, blah, blah, blah. I called three different phone numbers of people involved with the case, or their offices if they were no longer there. I was always told they would not take up the case and was given another number.

If you have had a different experience, please share it.

That is why I kept searching for a government office who said that they would act on a tip. The one above TAX.MAIL@USDOJ.gov 
and the FTC complaints dept 1-877-FTC-HELP or online https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/#crnt&panel1-3
that seemed interested at all or willing to take this info.

Makes one wonder just how many 'Freemasons' are or could be involved for their own personal gain- Would love to see more about that, If there IS more-I don't think RayRay is the only one-There is MORE corruption going on than anyone really knows-Take our government, for example-
