IRS refuses to give back $59G to vet after seizing his business cash

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.

“When I came to the United States, I had to do something for the country,” he told the Washington Post. He later became a U.S. citizen.

Following an honorable discharge, he continued pursuing the American dream, telling the paper: “My whole life was work, work, work.”

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.

Come on folks.
You do realize the IRS is the BOSS?
It is the collection arm of the globalists financial elites (bankers who hold the US Bonds)

The IRS is going exactly no where and they will continue to do what ever they please to do.
We serve the government (bankers who own the US Bonds).
Not the other way around.
The IRS is there to remind us of that fact.
