“Cruel and Unusual” Is the Only Way to Describe It

“Consider the case of Mary Estelle Curran, a 79-year-old widow who faced six years in prison and over $20 million in fines. Curran inherited a number of offshore accounts worth around $40 million from her husband after he passed away and was allegedly unaware of how to properly file the required FBAR forms.  I don’t know how any decent human being could look at themselves in the mirror again after helping to put away an old widow—or anyone for that matter—for a make-believe ‘crime’ like not filing an FBAR. If throwing an elderly widow in a cage for six years for not properly filling out a government form is not cruel and unusual punishment, then the phrase has no meaning.”
