Update on Li'l Nepotiz and Mommy (now former) Territory Manager

[taxguykarl]

S is my only link to MTM, so direct contact is non-existent. As the first one to put it in writing that Li'l Nepotiz was is an inept with atrocious work habits, I ascended to a high point in MTM's shit list, so I doubt that I would be welcome on her social media.
I'm just waiting for her real name to come up on the Justice Department's Tax News https://www.justice.gov/news that typically takes 5+ years

That took way too long, but I'm glad to see there were good results. Hopefully you don't have to deal with either of them ever again.

ADDITIONAL BACKGROUND:
D, the SM of my previous location went on to other pursuits (other than taxes, that is) and the franchise owners (FO) moved me back to my old location of almost 20 years (closer to home). See also https://www.customerssuck.com/board/...-promotion-too
Yes, I am SM of that location and plan to remain at least 'til Mrs. TGK joins the KMA Club. (FWIW, this season I exceeded the return count and revenue quota with a decent margin to spare).

I got a whole new crew as I am the last 'old hand' (for want of a better term) at that location as A, the former awesome GM, also went onto other pursuits. The main veteran was S who had previously worked in MTM's location and remained Facebook friends with her.
END BACKGROUND

This is all from S:
MTM had been buying into the franchise (it owns a couple dozen locations throughout Chicagoland). After she was finally shit-canned, MTM had repeatedly vowed to get her money back. I pointed out to S that once under oath MTM will have no choice but to answer whatever queries that FO's lawyer raises; including (but far from restricted to) the refund scam in the above threads, charging kickbacks to take the annual readiness test (she apparently took it for Li'l Nepotiz), creating fictional returns to boost her favored store numbers (SM's are credited for a return even if it was rejected by the IRS and state tax agencies).
Nonetheless, MTM needs to find a shyster to take her case quick--statute of limitations, you know. I find it hard to believe that one will take that case on a contingency basis.

As for Li'l Nepotiz: He is incarcerated. S didn't say for what, but as he once clocked in reeking of cannabis, I am speculating that the charges are drug-related.

As for S herself, she is adjusted to the new location and clientele decently. By late March, she was doing capital gains, itemizing deductions, rental property and self-employment other than hair and child care (in her old location, street hustlers would claim such enterprises to boost their income into the maximum range for the earned income tax credit) with the confidence that I expect of a long time preparer.
