Actually, US taxlaw isn't that peculiar in this aspect. Other countries have similar provisions. Why should criminal commercial activity be tax-free? OFC not. The criminal penalties come on top. 👍
In countries (e.g.those of the #EU) that have a value-added tax, the surcharge is even nicer (on top):
the gross turnover is divided by somwhere b/w 105-130%. The difference b/w the gross turnover and that value constitutes the VAT =100% additional tax. 😀
