[quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]Well, MicroStrategy is based out in Tyson's and Michael Saylor has a house out there too. If there's where he works and spends most of his time, then he doesnt owe jack in income taxes to the District. Karl Racine is a joke. He should maybe focus on prosecuting some actual local criminals instead of dreaming up these silly lawsuits against Facebook, Google, et al that appear to be little more than desperate bids for press attention.

Criminal law enforcement is the jurisdiction of the US Attorney, not Racine (except for juveniles).

Racine just won a $4 million judgement against ghost gun manufacturers.

He just won a $2.54 million settlement with Instacart.

He got apartment owners to pay millions to resolve health and safety issues in their buildings.

He is a pretty good joke I guess.

Nobody cares about any of that. What people care about is crime, specifically juvenile crime, and on that he has been 100 percent AWOL. Most of DC will be happy to see him gone.

It's also amusing how Racine makes what appears to be a rather mundane dispute re: Michael Saylor into a big to-do starring himself. These kinds of disputes turn on where someone spends their time and where they work. Just because someone owns a house in the District doesnt mean they owe income taxes here. They have to spend more than half the year here and/or work here. You dont need "insiders" or "whistleblowers" or even to sue over that. The tax department can just demand people prove they weren't in the District more than half the year, which you could do with things like credit card bills. In the hands of a media whore like Karl Racine though this is something you announce for some reason on Twitter. [/quote]
