State Tax Collectors Bill Online Braggers

State tax collectors are everywhere, leaving no stone unturned in their relentless pursuit of tax revenue. A pair of Oklahoma college students discovered that state tax collectors, responding to braggadocio on their MySpace page, sent a tax bill of $320,000. It turns out that the students were running a company called Keghead, a college party business, and in order to attract more partiers had exaggerated their success with online hype - which included the claim of “over 1 billion served”. Tax officials estimated the business to have hosted over 100 large events over five years, when the company had actually only hosted 20 small parties over 18 months, netting less than $2,000 in gross revenue. Naturally, the Tax Commission spokeswoman could not comment on the case. But, be careful when you boast and when you post: The Tax Man is watching!
