Fran has repeatedly claimed that she received a tax-deductible receipt for items she purchased on eBay, a receipt that didn't list those items as would be required. I can now say that she appears to be correct in that claim.
There are two issues that DS defenders will not address except for canned answers . One is ebay. That is relatively easy to find the truth, there is paper trail if you know how to search. That is not a "I forgot routine"
Why the lie ?
Horses is the other issue, they address only with silly answers that come from those trying to defend they know not what. What all of the business dealings with the horses were, only DS can supply that answer,
One thing is very tough for him to get around and that is the innocent ignorance act. From the e-mail to LS,DS provided enough information for anyone that has had a similar business to see what he was aiming for.
Ignorance cannot be claimed or believed unless you agree to play the same silly game.
The first year in this type of business we all make mistakes in knowing the rules and regs. That is why we hire accountants. We bring all our little paper work and he explains what we can use and what we can't. The following year we get a little more knowledgable.
We know better by then to attempt to pull off what DS was in the e-mails.
This was not ignorance
