Brother Reported My "Suspicious" Bank Activity To The IRS—The Auditor Found My Patent Portfolio
"IRS AUDIT SCHEDULED FOR NEXT WEEK," my brother Derek announced at Sunday dinner, his voice carrying the particular satisfaction of someone who'd finally caught a criminal in the act. "I reported your suspicious bank activity months ago. Your income doesn't match your lifestyle—the house, the car, the vacations you take. You're finally going to pay for your lies." My parents exchanged uncomfortable glances while I set down my fork, processing the reality that my own brother had filed an IRS report against me because he couldn't understand how I afforded things he couldn't. What Derek didn't know—what nobody in my family knew—was that the audit he'd engineered would expose not fraud, but the quiet empire I'd built in obscurity: forty-seven licensed patents generating royalties from companies whose products sat in nearly every American home.
The auditor's face when he discovered the truth was almost worth the betrayal.
