Never heard that story, but assuming it is accurate, your point appears to be that the management group handling Jon Stewart's money made a 400 dollar error and he had to pay a penalty on the amount? Or that his wife made a $3,225 error which he had to pay a penalty and interest about? And you are equating that to funneling money off shore to avoid taxation on millions of dollars, bankrupting healthy companies using a bustout scheme to drain their equity and taking advantage of carried interest loopholes to pay less than 1/3 of the tax rate that people pay on similar payroll earnings? Those seem like fairly different blips on the radar, one is a massive dot indicating an incoming warhead, and the other is a sparrow flying at low altitude...
