It's not clear whether or not these people were in cahoots or not but the Palmetto State Department of Revenue did arrest 11 Boeing employees yesterday for tax evasion:
The South Carolina Department of Revenue has arrested 11 Boeing employees Monday for tax evasion.
The Department of Revenue reports that 11 individuals have been accused of submitting fraudulent W-4 forms to their employer claiming to be exempt for South Carolina income taxes, as well as failing to file their state income tax returns. With total earnings over $2.2 million, the individuals collectively evaded paying $99,729 in individual income taxes to the state of South Carolina.
I'm a little confused as to why 11 adults would claim to be exempt from South Carolina taxes when it would be pretty easy to prove otherwise, but who knows! Maybe there's a tax denying svengali leading this thing. The Department of Revenue says "more arrests are expected to be made," so anything's possible.
