IRS Bounty Hunters Should Not Waste Time On FBAR Penalties

I consider hiding money offshore a particularly pernicious form of tax avoidance.  I also find the concept of IRS rewards for whistleblowing very disturbing. So it was tough to know which way to root in the most recent regular Tax Court decision- Whistleblower 22716-13W v Com.  I've decide I'll call old WB 22716-13W, Doc Flute, for short.  You and I don't know who he is, but it seems likely that he may be the physician discussed in this 2014 New York Times story by Gretchen Morgenson.
