Check out some comments I gave to Gothamist/NPR about IRS-CI's investigative practices.
“They're issuing summonses, they're trying to cold call people, they're knocking on doors,” he said, adding that one of his clients was arrested at 6 a.m. and another was raided as soon as he walked into work.
“They came in with guns drawn, automatic weapons. It was a full-on SWAT-style raid on a 70-year-old accountant,” Ketcham said.
Ketcham said most of the unit's agents are fresh out of college and bring their firearms to work. He said he was not surprised to hear the IRS might be interviewing nightclub owners as part of the Caban investigation.
“That they would use intimidation tactics or misleading someone — you know, they're allowed to do that — that is not surprising to me at all,” he said.
