SUMMARY:
• In 2012, Richard S. Lehman's expertise in Ponzi tax recoveries led the Government Accountability Office (GAO) to seek his advice.
• Lehman had discussions with GAO representatives regarding the Internal Revenue Service's (IRS) tax advice on the treatment of the Ponzi scheme clawback.
• The GAO sent Lehman a thank-you letter acknowledging his guidance, stating that as a result of their discussions, the IRS issued new guidance on the taxation of the Ponzi scheme clawback.
• The letter from the GAO expressed gratitude for Lehman's assistance, which contributed to the quick issuance of the IRS guidance.
• Christopher H. Schmidt, a senior analyst at the GAO, signed the letter and mentioned that the IRS issued the guidance independently after seeing the GAO's upcoming report.
