These people were targeted because culturally the women are given 22K and 24K gold jewelary when they get married by family, relatives and guests. They also socialize a lot within their ethnic group and jewelry is worn for a lot of social occasions. Which means that they need it at home (in a safe) for easy access.

Gold is easy to melt and dispose.

I agree. This isn't about Chinese or Koreans, it's Indians, etc.

Not $60,000 worth of gold with little rubies. Please.

There was nothing about gold and little rubies in the article, stop making things up, crazy person.

or a safe deposit box at a bank.

Not Asian but I think they are keeping all this cash at home (in literal physical currency or gold/jewels which can be transformed into currency) because they don't trust banks. That and its easier to fool the IRS if you're not making bank deposits especially with Biden's new $600 deposit rule.

South Asian here and no. There certainly may be a trust issue, but there's no tax evasion going on here. South Asian and Middle Eastern people have a lot of gold jewelry. Do you know nothing?

The other South Asian disagrees with you.

Welp.

While police were not sure if Loughlin and Giannulli's home was specifically targeted, they do believe the heist was carried out by a South American burglary crew that travels into the country and quickly leaves, according to TMZ.

I never knew they were Asian! What do you bet they read the article and set it up to commit insurance fraud. Who keeps a million dollars in jewelry on top of her dresser? There have been reports that they are divorcing so maybe one partner set it up to liquidate assets. I hope they enjoyed prison.

So will the victims have to pay some sort of taxes or no?

+1 They don't seem like the most ethical people.

Why would they have to pay taxes? The jewelry was not sold so they made no profit. They didn't have the money in anything profit making so there is no income to report on it.

Guess you're going to call us racist again and say this South Asian murderer was keeping $200,000 IN CASH in his home for totally legitimate, non-tax evading reasons?

Himanshu said as the lease renewal for the business neared, he and Alka were in disagreement over whether to keep the store. She wanted to renew and he wanted to get out of the lease, court documents say he told police.

He also told detectives he noticed money missing from the $200,000 in cash he kept in their home and believed Alka was spending it without giving any explanation for what she purchased, court documents said.

It’s a valuable asset. People should be taxed on wealth, regardless of what it is or whether it generated a profit or not. The fact is they have it, and should be taxed on it simply because they possess it.

If you have $1,000,000 worth of jewelry, you can afford a 25% annual tax of the value of it.

Are you a child? How can you be an adult and not understand the basic tax rules? We are taxed when we purchase jewelry; not annually.
