Are IRS Agents watching you....or your blog?
Recently Jon K. posted on another thread his observation: "I've said this before. An ambitious IRS agent can go find money by reading forums like this one."
For those of you who don't know about or remember the Charlie Engle story, this is a great read about IRS agents, the Feds, and mortgage fraud.

Note the investigation "strategies" of the IRS agent involved in this case. For those of you posting purportedly real profits on your websites and blogs: does it make you wonder or doubt putting that much income info in such a public place?
