For someone not a native of this country, it's easy to be a victim of bad business advice and decisions. I myself have lost a little money on some bad business moves recommended by "so called" experts and I am born and educated in the U.S. Fortunately I have probably one of the last "honest" accountants. However, honest and competent are not always the way out. After all, ultimately it is the IRS's interpretation of the tax code that counts. So for someone who is not from the U.S. it's easy to get lost in that tax code. I wonder if Helio's attorney or his accountants made any money on this deal that Helio doesn't know about, or thinks was for something else. The IRS doesn't like to lose, so they usually don't jump the gun, but I believe Helio is a victim here. Does he owe taxes, YES! However, I don't think he is a criminal in the true sense, just foolish to believe people who make things look to good to be true. Hang in there buddy. You'll definitely come out as the "champ" on this one. Just tell the truth and get a different lawyer thatn the ones you used in the past. I believe Helio.
