Host Warren K. Racusin welcomes Melissa L. Wiley of Lowenstein’s Tax practice and Elie Honig, CNN senior legal analyst, former federal prosecutor, and special counsel in Lowenstein’s White Collar Criminal Defense practice, to the “Splitting Heirs” podcast to discuss the case of DeGuzman vs. the Commissioner of Internal Revenue, where a wealthy couple splits up and gets into a fight about responsibility for tax liability incurred during their marriage. The lawyers examine the concept of “the innocent spouse,” the differences between criminal tax fraud and civil tax fraud, how tax laws can be used to bring down organized crime bosses, (and why Hermes bags always seem to figure prominently in these kinds of cases).
Speakers:
Warren K. Racusin, Partner and Chair, Trusts & Estates
Elie Honig, Special Counsel, White Collar Criminal Defense
Melissa Wiley, Partner, Tax
