In summary: They'll catch all your tax fraud!I manage the Bank of Triton, which holds several accounts for PF Admins. One advantage of this arrangement is that it's waaay beyond the long arm of the IRS (even Ivan) :wink: Of course, PF Admins need to come here in person to make withdrawals, which are payable with bottles from the cellar-vault.I'm in charge of the illuminati.

PF provides me about $3.6 million dollars in disposable income annually. Last year, I purchased an 18-bedroom beachfront estate in Malibu with the earnings. Naturally, I don't pay any taxes on it.
