I don’t know what an FRN is (something stupid, I assume), but damn, I wish I had the kind of money where I owed a million bucks in income tax. I’d pay it gladly and go back to my spring holiday in Tuscany.
I’d guess since he said it was from intellectual property I bet it was a scam where he claimed something like “5 million intellectual property income” to secure a loan from a bank. So now the IRS is coming after him because he claimed income to a bank but didn’t pay taxes on it.
You are probably right, but there are also plenty of rich people who will do anything to get out of paying taxes, even by convincing themselves they found the cheat code.
I’m not saying he could smell landmines, but apparently elephants and rats can.
Though I’m assuming their snouts are fairly close to the ground.
Who knows, maybe LSD unlocks the part of our brain which can smell landmines, and he was spiderman crawling in front of the camera crew, sniffing around like a TSA dog.
Let’s pause for a moment and focus on that intent: I’m going to take LSD in a war zone.
It’s like the psychedelic revolution smashed right into The Right Stuff test pilot daredevil attitude. Some people truly seem to be made different than you and me.
That said, it probably wasn’t one of those legendary “heroic doses”, as a certain low-to-medium range (which varies from person to person) does sharpen awareness of things we normally filter out automatically.
If this guy did LSD in a war zone, he’s probably done it many times before, is familiar with its’ effects, a medium dose for him might be a heavy one for the rest of us… mere mortals.
