GOOD DAY


Having know Joe Stancil for over 20 + Years he's always been a stand up guy . Years ago I had a Cessna 206 that Joe Bought and sold for me . Mark is from Jolly old England and came on the scene sometime back -I'd guess 6-8 years .Dan has been there longer -I'd guess 10+ years. Between them they have 40+ or more doing aircraft sales and transactions . About a year or so back the FBI was releasing some of there Turbo and N/A RG 182's -Like about 10-12 of them . I guess the Fed's conger ed up this deal to start to int ice Joe and his partners into "IRS Entrapment" . I think a smear on the face of Stancil Aviation > I always trust Joe and his partner's (I understand Joe is independent of Stancil Aviation now )having sold businesses to Mark. I smell a rat in U.S. Government to do this . Why would the U.S. Gov't go after Stancil Aviation (Or SKYWAGONS .COM ) is anybody guess . Hide you money and guns the "current Administration" is looking to pounce on everyone to promote "the socialist state of kaliforinia "
and the United States .Doing money in CASH HAS been and will be a way to keep the IRS and Government out of your bisseenes .

Apparently not. The law is the law. Like Rob points out, trying to skirt your way around the gov'mint & the IRS is playing with fire. If someone wants to pay cash for your item for sale, tell them to go buy a money order or cashier's check with it. That puts the bugaboo on them. Plus I don't believe a private party has to report cash deals, however the bank will have to report your $10K+ cash deposit.
I have to admit that if someone showed up with $75K in cold hard cash (small unmarked bills only, please) to buy an airplane from me, I'd be pretty suspicious of how they acquired it..

Re: Joe Stancil charged in money laundering scheme

Since when did it become illegal to pay with cash????
And when did it become illegal to make payments in cash?
Just wondering?
I agree with A few here and wonder what Joe did to piss off who in the Government~!

Re: Joe Stancil charged in money laundering scheme

While not the same, this was an interesting deal. A spray pilot retired and sold his plane to a guy that had a spray pilot school. A friend lined up the deal so the spray plane was delivered but when it came time to get paid at a later date, the money was not arriving. The retired spray pilot decided it was time to drive the 1000 miles and pay the school a visit in person. When he walked into the office he was told "I was just getting ready to send the money but since you are here, here it is" and handed over a wad of travelers checks from Spain I think. This was quite a few years ago.

It is legal to use cash for most things, even big ticket items. The $10, 000 reporting requirement was to stop money laundering. Simply follow the rules.

I'll bet the odds are high , if someone is buying a $20,000 plus item for cash the money has not been taxed properly. If it has been, then you will have no problem with the IRS.

This is how to laundry money. Take your drug money to Home Depot, buy less than 10K in building materials. Go to different stores to buy appliances, carpet, cabinets, etc. Give them a fictitious name. Haul the stuff yourself. When the home is done, live in it for 2 years. Sell it as your primary residence, no capital gains tax. :D

Some airlines will not take cash for food or drinks. Credit card only.

Re: Joe Stancil charged in money laundering scheme

Rob is right on with that scenerio on how to "shift" illegit income to constructive purposes.... In my opinion the druggies are 2% of the market at that form of tax evasion.... Cash businesses exploit that avenue every day, all day. Places like bars, restaurants, prostitutes, lawn care, personal assistants, construction related stuff and other businesses that take in mostly CASH, work that angle to the max... I know of waiters / waitresses that work at some high volume/high end places to eat, that are retired at 40 with assets far beyond what they claimed on their income tax forms. Sooner or later the feds will catch them and they will PAY dearly. Especially in this day of HUGE budget shortfalls. I HATE to pay more then I have to in taxes just to cover scam artists.......

Re: Joe Stancil charged in money laundering scheme

There seem to be markedly different rules for big business vs. small business. Here's a story that involves airplanes, but the transactions were actually by drug gangs, not fabricated by the government. Wachovia bank laundered BILLIONS of dollars, paid a comparatively small fine, and all charges were dropped. :evil:

It's not illegal to PAY with cash, just illegal not to report the big cash transactions. You seem to be missing that distinction.

I was not missing that point, I would think that at the end of the day his books showed that he bought a plane for this much and he sold it for that much! Any gain he made after taking every possible deduction from the transaction, he probably paid his taxes!?!?
The only thing that was illegal as I see it was that he did not report more than $10,000 at a time??
I just wonder where in the Constitution it gives the US Government the RIGHT to tell anyone that they have to tell the GOVERNMENT when they spend or receive a cash payment over $10,000.
This is more of the Government making criminals out of everyday people trying to do business!
It started right after they made a temporary illegal rule called the income tax for business's, then formed the IRS to oversee it then all of a sudden that's the way it is!!Not just for busyness but anyone that makes a buck!
Is this any different than the people buying the latest NIKI tenny for $200 and selling it for $2200 the next day? I'm sure they pay the taxes on the $2000, every one f them?!?!
If I sell my old pickup for 12,000 to my neighbor for cash and I buy my other neighbors old dump truck for 13,000 do you really think any of the 3 of us are going to tell anyone??
I would like to see if anyone here has the BALLS to step up and say they have never bought something from another individual for cash and then went to the Government and paid the sales tax on it or the taxes on it from selling it!!
Who has bought a prop from Ed and paid taxes on it?? How about that tail wheel that Jim sold Al, suppose either one of them reported it??!!
Is that any different than taking 4 payments of $9,999.00 at 4 different times??
Breaking the law is breaking the law!
Just like telling a lie is telling a lie!
There is no just a little bit Pregnant!
Why get on Stancil's Ass about it when just about 99.9% of us better not throw to many stones!
The Hypocrisy of some of us gets a little thick and brown sometimes!
I guess everyone should take OM's advice and build houses!

So I give some horse hay to the guy that does the work on my Dodge pickup. Or I help you put up your barn and you help me put up mine. Or I put one of my hogs in the freezer and do not report the income and you lump me in with a guy that laundered money for folks that are in to cutting peoples heads off. [-X

I think you are wrong.

Re: Joe Stancil charged in money laundering scheme

Hey I wasn't lumping anyone with anyone!
If your good with breaking the laws of the land and it does not bother you then so be it! I guess that is called civil disobedience?!!
I know I can't say anything about Stancil at all because I don't know anything about it!
All we know is what has been on this site and I'm sure there is way more to it that what we have read.

I have rolled over and payed when it was not my fault or right but it was sure as hell a lot cheaper than fighting.
I got cross ways with an FAA inspector, was easier to get out of the business than roll in the mud with her!!
We flew over 3000 hrs a year with 6 aircraft, 2000 of that was in 3 months! took me a year of fighting then another year to get rid of a Hangar and 6 airplanes!
I would have been $500,000 richer if I had just been smart enough to say I'm guilty as charge on the first day!! She was lying all through it!


Hopefully I'll sometime get to try some of that ham you have in the freezer, if I ever get close to your place.

Re: Joe Stancil charged in money laundering scheme

I am 64...

...years of age. My oldest son is 38. By the time that he is my age....cash will no longer be in circulation or accepted. Has nothing to do with the current administration. It has been vanishing for decades. Just like our liberties and freedom....disappearing for decades. The bad guys are winning.

As a young guy I carried a $1,000.00 bill in my wallet....just to show off. The drug dealers caused those to go away. As a young pilot I could stroll about airline ramps with family and friends. No such thing as airport security. Hijackers and Osama B.L. ended all of that.

The bad guys undermined our system . Americans panicked. The Patriot Act stole our freedom. If we were not such fat, lazy shits....we would stand up to the bastards. They cannot kill us all. But we, as a society, willingly sacrifice our freedom and liberty in the pursuit of security.

If you are legit...what the hell is the difference between cash and a check? Things change. A couple hundred years ago it was common to pay in gold or silver. When is the last time that you did that?

Vote for Ron Paul in 2012(and I am a moderate/liberal)

Bob

p.s. Just paid cash last week for a camper. 85 $100.00 bills. Perfectly legal. Bought my trailer licence: paid sales tax on $8,500.00 as listed on the title. Hiding nothing. What the seller does with the cash...is her business.

Re: Joe Stancil charged in money laundering scheme

What some of your are overlooking is the degree or seriousness of the alleged crime.

There are infractions, misdemeanors, felonies, and degrees of those as well. If you go over the speed limit, unsually an infraction, do you head to the local PD or SO and turn yourself in? I didn't think so. Sell a hog and not report the money? No big deal - no real victim.

Subvert our country by selling secret info to the Chinese. Knowingly aid and abet or deal with the Mexica drug cartels who are killing their own people with bullets and ours with illegal drugs. Now that's an order of magnitude more egregious.

Not saying, as I don't know, but if Stancil is in fact guilty as charged, he deserves what's coming to him. A clear line was crossed. I don't care if was just greed or if it was hungry kids and a failing business, you don't sell out by helping violent criminals to the detriment and expense of your fellow man.

Re: Joe Stancil charged in money laundering scheme

If what we read is true, it would appear that Mr. Stancil made a series of stupid mistakes. However, I think that nobody should too high on their horse (or anything else), or be in any particular rush to throw the first stone. The fact is that if you are reading this, your are almost certainly a felon. You've probably not been convicted just yet, but the fact remains that you are a free person with a clean record primarily because you have never attracted the undivided attention of any state or federal enforcer. Hyperbole? I think not.

The federal tax code alone is fills some 71,684 (and counting) pages. If you have ever filed an income tax return, you are almost certainly a felon. Please report to jail.

If you have ever hunted or fished across state lines, you are almost certainly a felon. The Lacey Act has, since 1900, made it a federal felony to transport across state lines any part of any plant or animal which has been taken, handled, or shipped in violation of the laws of any state or foreign government. If you've ever possibly transported a foul hooked fish, or one a quarter inch under-length, a duck shot thirty seconds after legal light, any species of wood or plant which could be construed to be illegal in any sense ( http://online.wsj.com/article/SB1000142 ... 59286.html ), bought or sold any fish or game which was taken in any illegal manner, under the arcane laws of any single nation on earth, you are a felon. Please report to prison.

If you are self employed, or own any small or large business, I promise you're a felon. Tax laws. Labor laws. DOT. EPA. OSHA. EEOC. Federal, state, city, county............. Please save us all some hassle, and just plead guilty.

Tell Mr. Stancil "Hello" when you are housed in the same facility.

Until then, please don't be too quick to judge all the other felons, since you are one, after all.

I am not sure what Mr. Stancil did or did not do.

The $10,000.00 reporting law was put into place primarily at the urging of the DEA to track some of the Billions of dollars flowing into the drug cartels in South and Central American ( cocaine and marijuana) and to an extent into Asia and the Middle East ( opiates ).

These cartels are currently running rampant through Mexico not only killing Mexican citizens but American citizens, often with guns they purchased in the good ol' USA.

If a seller of planes, guns, or anything else that aids and abets these very well financed criminals; I say that getting popped for money laundering is going to be far too weak a punishment. The family of the embassy staff, federal agents, or others murdered due to this illegal commerce, will suffer far more than the few years that the seller will serve in what probably will be a minimum security lock up.

#-o I guess you don't read the news enough to know that a substantial number of the "embassy staff, federal agents, or others murdered due to illegal commerce" were gunned down using weapons our ATF and DEA deliberately exported to Mexico. Who's going to jail for that? Oh, wait, nobody is, since federal agents were responsible for the sales, as opposed to a private businessman. :P
