      Obviously they’ll just search for the username in their “metadata only” database to check if you were lying. It’s just like taxes: they know about everything already, they just want to check if you’re honest or can add another datapoint to hang you with.

        If they can figure that out, they won’t be asking first, they’ll come for you in the night when it’s easy and you are asleep

          If that were true, why do we need to declare taxes? Why wouldn’t they just come for people who they know are breaking the law?

            If you pay wrong amount, they mail you the amount you owe.

            Why bother? Because you aren’t thinking of the middle man!

            Also if you’re wealthy and can afford great lawyers you can save a good amount more because IRS won’t bother.
