The Internal Revenue Service is reportedly refusing to give back more than $59,000 to U.S. military veteran after it seized his gas station’s cash during a raid that found no evidence of criminal activity.
Oh Suk Kwon, 73, a South Korea immigrant who came to the U.S. back in the 1970s and served four years as a fleet mechanic in the U.S. army, bought a gas station in Maryland in 2007 following decades of work at an electrical plant as an auto mechanic.
…
But just several years after opening the gas station, IRS investigators seized all the station’s cash – more than $59,000 – leaving the Kwon family cash-strapped, even though no evidence of criminal wrongdoing was found by the government, the paper reported.
After the IRS investigation ended, the station went bankrupt, Kwon’s wife passed away, and the IRS changed its policy regarding seizures like this; but the agency is still refusing to hand back Kwon his money.

Wrong seems like stealing
That’s totally wrong. I believe that’s called abusing your authority.
Our founders feared this kind of oppression. And it was that fear that drove them to write our supreme law, complete with Amendments that affirmed natural, civil rights. Perhaps it’s time for people to use the 2nd Amendment against the oppressor identified by our founders.
I Recommend this be sent to the VFW, Fox News and Rush Limbaugh
Repeal the 16th Amendment. Disband the IRS as being a criminal political arm of the Federal government. No one should hold the power held by IRS to use arbitrarily or for personal or political agendas.
The IRS Police State continues unabated. The IRS stole this guy’s money, found no wrong doing and now refuses to give it back. Sounds like theft to me. GIVE the money back.
