--- Quote from: Zebediah on 22 Jul 2015, 08:22 ---Still, as I said before, the thing that's most likely to be illegal is the financial aspect of the whole thing.

Because it's financially shady.
We don't comply with the tax code, which is illegal, so we pay under the table, which is also illegal.

Nice thing about the Fifth amendment, as long as she files the income, she doesn't have to explain how she got it. IRS don't care were the money comes from, only that they get the money.

Enter the Car Wash.
In the real world, Faye could get away with under the table payments for a while, but eventually the IRS would get her. Jeph may or may not want to acknowledge this in his fictional world.

Hint: don't try this at home, kiddies. The IRS will take your tax payment and then turn your name in to the relevant authorities. In Faye's case, it would be trivial to follow her to her place of work and bust the whole operation.
