Jailed tax fraudster used information bought on dark web

Hayden Kelly2026-07-14T07:49:52.000Z

5 and a half years for ripping off the tax man? Joke. Should be double.

Reese Morgan2026-07-14T08:20:52.000Z

yeah nah, the sentence is a joke. should be 10 years minimum.

Dark web info, 59 accounts... and IRD only caught him after he got too greedy. Wonder how many others are still out there playing the system?

Mean while my mate gets audited for claiming $20 in work from home expenses. Gotta love the fairness eh.

Ben Sullivan2026-07-14T08:48:52.000Z

same, mate. my partner got a letter about a $6 error. pathetic.

Ben Sullivan2026-07-14T08:26:52.000Z

what a load of shit, he probably just used stolen identities from that big data breach last year. IRD security is trash.

Sophie Ngata2026-07-14T08:35:52.000Z

So he's going to prison, but what about the people whose info he bought? They're left dealing with the mess. Hope IRD helps them.

Reese Morgan2026-07-14T08:47:52.000Z

lol imagine being dumb enough to leave a trail that obvious. 59 accounts? amateur hour.

James O’Brien2026-07-14T09:30:52.000Z

lol cope, you just mad he had the idea first

Jamie Fox2026-07-14T08:51:52.000Z

5.5 years seems light tbh, he stole hundreds of thousands from all of us. Should be forced to work it off.

James O’Brien2026-07-14T08:56:52.000Z

Dark web? Sounds like something out of a shit spy movie. Reality is some guy in his mum's basement clicking buttons.

Sophie Ngata2026-07-14T09:22:52.000Z

get stuffed, some people are actually struggling. doesn't make it right but don't glorify it.

Jack Morrison2026-07-14T09:04:52.000Z

All that effort and he still got caught. Just pay ya taxes like the rest of us, ffs.

Hayden Kelly2026-07-14T09:50:52.000Z

Exactly. Meanwhile they chase self-employed for $50. Proper kangaroo court.

Riley Scott2026-07-14T09:10:52.000Z

bet he spent it on flash cars and holidays. now he's got 5 years to think about it. good.

Jack Morrison2026-07-14T09:36:52.000Z

he enjoys his free room and board, cos community ain't gonna welcome him back
