Oh dear. I don't know what lurks behind the signup page. I hope the strategies are scrupulously legal and kept up to date.<p>I'm a tax lawyer. I have seen a lot of train wrecks, let's just say.<p>If the promoter is suggesting anything remotely out of bounds, expect the Department of Justice. You will go bankrupt defending yourself if the DoJ decides to grind you.<p>Anyone signing up for a tax planning device has become trivially easy to find and prosecute. Subpoena the promoter for records. Find customer list. Launch prosecutors. That's how it worked in the tax shelter days 30 years ago and it still works like that.<p>I hope the developers have killa legal and tax advice.

during the ows protests it dawned on me that citizens shouldn't camp outside of buildings hoping to influence those inside; they actually hold the money/power and just don't see it.<p>so as a side project we made taxKilla to counteract the root of government power and systemic corruption: taxes. it's a simple, line by line guide to using an independent entity to control your taxes.<p>it's legal, free, and is a particularly good fit for hackers that perform independent contract work; i hope some of you can enjoy it this year.
