as -- UNBELIEVABLE -- as this story may sound.....IT IS AN ACTUAL TRUE PERSONAL STORY!!!

And you just admitted to tax evasion out loud on a public forum?!!!

Hopefully well past the statute of limitations by now.

[you just admitted to tax evasion out loud on a public forum?!!!] -- I was wondering how long it would take for someone to make the comment you posted!!! Yeah.....that situation put me into quite a mental quandary!!! So.....what would -- YOU -- have done in the same situation? Claim your income on a highly-classified top-secret project, while exposing the existence of said project and putting God-knows what into some form of jeopardy.....just so you can be "righteous"??? Or, do as you were told in order to protect the interests of the United States and defend our country's freedom? It's a rather conflicting tough call.....I know!!! So, I chose "my country" over the IRS. How does that sit with you?

Over my design engineering career and because of where I live, I have worked with all manner of defense contractors and other military-related companies around my area here and I have been exposed to all sorts of -- unbelievable and uncanny -- projects, some of which you would believe are pure "science-fiction"!!! Working on some of these projects has also shown me that sometimes..... you have to do something what is technically "wrong" because it is the only "right" thing to do!!! But, YES!!!.....morally, some of these decisions can wreak havoc with your own personal ethics.

[Hopefully well past the statute of limitations by now] -- While I would personally guess that since this particular event took place well over 35-years ago, that the "statute of limitations" has expired. Except..... -- UNLESS -- .....you are the New York County District Attorney, who doesn't care or follows federal statute of limitations laws, I suppose he could fabricate a tax-evasion case against me, just as he has done with this other well-known person who has been in the news recently. I suppose I should be looking over my shoulder now, huh???

Or we could say MidnightArrakis is an “unreliable narrator” and we were never able to find proof that’s what he ever did. Move along, nothing to see here.
A sizable group of us should consider this patriotic of him.
Sure, he also led missions to bring home POW’s and was a “secret astronaut” too! I think you are safe!

I think if the industry had caused problems for its most trusty contract engineers, they would do it a different way.
