Ex-con tried to get $15 trillion tax return

You might as well go all the way:

Fresh out of prison on a money-laundering conviction, Marlon T. Moore tried to make a big score, federal prosecutors say.
The Miami man — aka ”X-Large Moore” — filed an income tax return seeking a refund of almost $15 trillion.
No joke. Now Moore is charged with filing false claims with the IRS and obstructing the agency’s laws.
After his release from a Florida prison in late 2007, Moore allegedly prepared bogus documents claiming that the feds owed him various amounts, including $5,950,000,000,000, $2,975,000,000,000 and $6,000,000,000,000.
“In fact, however, defendant Moore knew he was owed no such amounts,” according to a statement by the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Miami.
Moore, 38, has a bond hearing on Thursday. If convicted, he faces up to five years in prison for each false claim and up to three years for impeding IRS laws.

This is completely unacceptable. Still, I’d like to see X-Large appointed to the Fed.
