I paid the $15000 tax on the resale of the items. This was not a point of dispute.

The investigation was not due to my actions, but as a result of someone who obviously thought I was 'operating secretly' turning me in.

What is your opinion of Chuck Smorse and others being 'turned in'. Was it unethical on the part of the person that turned them in or are they acting in an unethical way when it comes to earning a buck from selling chips??

I will sit back and wait for JP's fork to arrive.
