Do you remember Francesca Gino's claim on her website that HBS analyzed the "wrong data file" in their investigation, and that a "real file" proved her innocence?
HBS is now claiming that the "real file" was fabricated by Gino... and thus that Gino's claim was defamatory.

🚨 Big SCOOP 🚨
Tax revenue could fall by as much as **10%** this year, per sources, as taxpayers and businesses see the Trump admin as less likely to challenge tax cheats.
That'd be **$500 BILLION** in lost revenue.
It'd nearly double the tax gap in a single year.
