True crime meets the sedative effects of tax law
By TheTaxPerson® · October 5, 2026 · 3 min read
True crime meets the sedative effects of tax law. That's the whole premise of TheTaxPerson® podcast — and yes, it's exactly as fun as it sounds.
Why these two things belong together
Every good true crime story is, at its core, a story about money. Follow the money and you find the motive, the method, and usually the mistake. And who follows money for a living? Tax people. The same rules that bore people to sleep in April are the rules that unravel frauds, sink empires, and occasionally send someone famous to prison.
Al Capone didn't go down for anything dramatic — he went down for tax evasion. The tax code was the trapdoor. It still is.
What to expect
- True crime stories where the tax angle is the twist.
- Plain-English tax explainers that respect your bedtime.
- Real talk about how the IRS actually works — from an Enrolled Agent who represents taxpayers in all 50 states.
