If you're going to do something illegal, then best practices are not to post about it in a public online forum.

Evading state taxes seems to be a favorite bragging point here though.

+1. Probably not the best covert operation.

As for the subject, I can't afford Wags any longer. I need to stick with Marquard or Rick Ferrell or someone...
