Reporting people for evading taxes is good when there is legitimate evidence to back up such accusations. However, this #ThotAudit movement has simply gone too far. It has reached a point where it's being used to harass those who have done nothing wrong. Roosh V. is accusing Brittany Venti of tax evasion without any sort of legitimate evidence. The only "evidence" he gave, to summarize in my own words, was that "she locky her accounty hehehehe." Not only that, but he's encouraging his followers to report her to the IRS. This is pretty much the fiscal equivalent of swatting in the sense that it is people misusing the IRS reporting system in bad faith. And I honestly condemn anyone who is misusing the IRS or any other government system, service, or agency as a harassment tactic. Zero respect for those kinds of people.

Thanks for reminding me why I don't use most social media. Every aspect of this is just so dumb I can't even put words to it. These things tend to resolve themselves in the long run. Snitches tend toward stitches. Whores have always existed. Bitter men have always existed. What else is new.

Honestly, yeah. I could see some of those who are reporting innocent people to the IRS for no good reason getting themselves in legal trouble since it could definitely be considered either defamation or harassment, especially if it could be considered coordinated in the case of Roosh V. encouraging followers to report Venti.

in the case of Roosh V.

I did a search for a legal case by that name before I realized what you meant LOL.

But yeah, its certainly illegal. Hell, I'd imagine its probably illegal in itself, since these people are potentially wasting federal resources and providing false information to federal agents.
