At the request of my defense council, Michael Minns, I wrote a check on August 7, 2012 prior to trial for $500,000 to the IRS, in the event I owed any money to the IRS for any reason On November 12, 2012, the IRS issued a refund check back for the same amount, $500,000. I did not cash the check prior to trial and the UNCASHED REFUND check was in evidence for the jurors to see.
