You know, I usually agree with the idea that regulatory bodies just want the problem to be <i>fixed</i>, and prefer to avoid punitive action. But in some cases, like this one, I feel that it's obvious that the offender <i>knew</i> he was violating the law. It pisses me off when that's not punished.

Ran a pipe to the office sewer line - and paid nothing for sewer service. But he won't be fined, because IOKIYAAR.

OTOH, that big wad of benjamins suggests that the IRS ought to have a look at his books. A $66,000 "cash business" is much more suspicious than even a teabagger 501(c)(4).
