    Emperors Club ringleader is enrolled agent

    CNN just announced that one of the ringleader's of the Emperor's Club VIP is an Enrolled Agent. That was breaking news...LOL. Now, maybe more of the public will learn what an Enrolled Agent is (or isn't). The news reporter wasn't sure whether that meant he was an ex-IRS agent, or not. The Emperor's Club VIP is the call girl operation the NY Gov was involved with.

    For those who may not know, you might want to explain what the Emperor's club is,
    and what are the membership requirements.

      OK. I've added a note. But, since this is front page news I'm sure most readers knew anyway.

      I haven't received my membership kit yet, so I don't know the requirements.

        New perspective on the profession

        I was hoping my enrollment certificate would qualify me for another profession.
        In other words, a democratic government is the only one in which those who vote for a tax can escape the obligation to pay it.

          He sounds like an enterprising entrepreneur to me who probably has most of his profits offshore by now as I suspect shortly he will also be.

            That's a different secondary business after tax season, for sure! That gal that the gov hired was $1,000 an hour, boggles the mind what that buys.

              $1000 an hour was the instate rate

              Multistate is much higher.

                I hope the next client that calls doesn't ask which girls are available.

                  ...and it's fully reportable!

                    Serious question: what is the source of your Cicero quote? I really like it.

                      At $1000 per hour she makes almost as much as that enrolled agent.
