For others…NADN claimed its “ex-IRS” affiliation for years without the IRS issuing a word of warning. The “Virtual Malls” were marketed with for years, with the ADA tax credit feature in place, without a peep from the IRS. Today, to their credit, the IRS has this series at:

http://www.irs.gov/businesses/small/article/0,,id=106472,00.html

Hopefully this URL might help new visitors to this page, but that series wasn’t there in time to help with the problem when we were “checking” it out. Apparently the IRS, who “is” the authority on the subject, saw no clear problem at the same time most of us saw no clear problem with this company and its tax preparation or strategies.

With the breakdown of secure job status in the US & with the outsourcing of jobs to other countries many have been trying to “feel out” new sources of income. The Internet is still a promising frontier. There seem to be a number of IRS accepted internet/virtual-mall type businesses out there. There are also businesses that do qualify for the ADA tax credit. The possibility that, as a “professional” organization, NADN put those two things together is not a far-fetched idea. That people were paying an exorbitant amount for these malls with ADA modifications, in my mind, is a valid observation. That is biased with the realization that what was received in return for payment was much less than what was promised or expected. Basically, the “x” money “equals” the “y” product “formula” did not materialize.

Ask yourself if it was horrible to try to enter a business that also helped handicapped persons. If “horrible”, I guess it’s getting harder to do anything good in this world.

So are you saying that everyone that wants to do business with you as a CPA/Tax expert should contact the IRS first to make sure that you are legit and are giving sound advise? Why would anyone think that your single Certification would make you anymore of an expert than the “Team” of CPA’s, Tax Lawyers & others that came from the ranks of the IRS where even you “PeepMaster” have suggested that we should have gone? Are you saying that when employees leave the IRS for the private sector they suddenly don’t know about tax code anymore? If the people you see here were intentional tax cheats then you wouldn’t be seeing lawsuits against NADN & Oryan Management. Are all of your clients “peeps” because the don’t know tax code? Nice attitude, Dude! If you advised them to do something illegal or outside of code and charged for your services wouldn’t you expect to be sued?

I could not have said it better in your response to “Tax Dude”. “Tax Dude” reminds me of the stuff my baby leaves behind in her diaper. Gary, we could use you in our law suit. Send me an email at angryguyatnadn@hotmail.com

I don’t know enough about you to call you names, however from what you have written I get a mental picture of a guy doing Tax Returns, as a sideline, at a surf shop. This is not how I judged NADN. Please give me a better picture of yourself. Perhaps you could start by unveiling your credentials for minimal comparison to the following Editorial Review for “The Guaranteed Tax Savings System (2001 Edition)” at Amazon.com:

“Robert Bennington is nationally recognized as an entrepreneur and an expert on taxation and the IRS. He is currently President or CEO of three companies that employ over 300 people and specialize in tax strategies that have helped over 60,000 Americans save nearly one hundred million dollars in new tax deductions. He has appeared as an expert on the IRS on more than 1,000 radio and TV shows including CNN, Hard Copy, and ABC News. Ernst and Young named Robert and his business partner, Cort Christie, Entrepreneurs of the Year in 1999 for emerging business people.”

Apparently all those “respected” News, Information & Professional organizations collectively did not have the mental alacrity to exceed the individual mentality of a “peep” or an “idiot” in questioning relative credentials.

I remind you that the people that you have attacked here were involved with NADN to remain on the legal side through NADN’s purported expertise and council and not to recklessly defy tax code. The tax aspect was supposed to be a dot the I’s and cross the T’s type of relationship. NADN supposedly researched and developed these “Tax Strategies”, not their clients. NADN & affiliates like Oryan Management obviously failed to produce workable products/strategies but succeeded at misleading many individuals for “profit”. As far as the “fine print” goes, many here tried to back out & cancel in the beginning (look at FTC’s lawsuit on that subject). Finding themselves stuck through deceptive default tactics, some ate the initial cost, but others chose to “make lemonade” by following NADN’s strategies.

So if you are not an ex-employee of NADN/Oryan or the likes striking out at the people who are after you for what you have done; Then please explain what level of expertise, or involvement, that you have that qualifies you to be Judge & Jury over the people posting here. With the credentials available, under what rationale would you have expected NADN to develop an undefendable tax strategy? FYI, NADN’s “help” for “defendable” support was supposed to stop at the “Tax Court” door. That means a Tax Attorney after that. Because it is counterintuitive to me, I am very interested in your professional take on what you think would motivate a person to pay money to knowingly become a tax cheat with all the known risks, fees & penalties involved.
