With the sprawling bill that passed through the #House on Thurs, #Republicans are also preparing to enlist the #TaxCode as another tool against Trump’s political foes.

the giant pot of bitcoins bought with leverage and the money of retail suckers that masquerades as a company known as #MicroStrategy (#MSTR) has a massive tax problem and has run to the IRS for help. They teamed up with #Coinbase and wrote a 76 page Very Angry Letter about how they cannot possibly be expected to follow the tax code as written.
(tl;dr the value of their bitcoins went up and they don't want to pay taxes on them despite taking an absolutely *massive* tax impairment a year or two ago when their bitcoins had gone down)
For bonus points consider that the CEO of MicroStrategy #MichaelSaylor was personally busted for massive tax fraud and had to pay a $51 million fine just a few months ago.
