I haven't looked up the law, but I'm going to guys it required the government to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that you "knew or should have known." If he was ignorant, he was willfully ignorant, as the conversation he described "there's nothing in there I need to know about" means that he knew what the gently caress was going on. Just because I pretend all the dudes I pick up outside of banks in masks with guns are just cold and hunting doesn't mean I don't get away with bank robbery.

In a sense they actually did prosecute him because he didn't squeal - but only because ratting out his compatriots was a way to save himself. The charges against him were not made up just to persecute him for not cooperating. They had a solid case against him and offered him a way out. When he refused the deal, they went ahead. It's not the Kafka-esque scenario some civil libertarians paint.

The ignorance defense only really applies in a very few amount of cases, and you better be drat ready if you're going to use it. I think the only law that it regularly applies to is tax law, and usually in regards to sudden windfalls where the recipient is completely (and usually legitimately) unaware that you have to pay taxes on that. I'm not a lawyer though so huge loving grain of salt there.

InitialDave posted:That's one area where US law seems really odd, that you can win something of high value, and you've got to sell it because you then owe tax money you don't have funds for. It gets better. My wife has about $100k in student loans she will never pay off as she is a social worker. So some time down the line they will be forgiven. Thing is that having the loan forgiven counts as income so she will be expected to pay income tax on the amount that was forgiven.

Worst we have to contend with on that front, really, is inheritance tax, and that's only an issue because they refuse to raise the threshold for it to a reasonable level.

Or if they forgave the loans and didn't then expect that someone who couldn't pay it off over 25 years is going to be able to pay a decent chunk of it off in one year.

here people panic when its in the mid-7 figure mark like even any significant percentage of the country is going to have assets in excess where oh god you MAY have to pay taxes on it. because the government is stealing, and we will all be millionaires one day. nevermind those collapsing bridges or anything.

At the very least, 100% of it should be taxed as income. Anyway, here's a terrible car thing I saw:   I was surprised it was still lit.
