Prologue:
On June 11, 2025, the Department of Justice issued a memo indicating that it planned to prioritize the denaturalization of certain U.S. citizens. In early August of 2025, media reports began circulating describing a naturalized citizen, who was subject to denaturalization proceeds, based on tax related conduct. Generally the media reports failed to distinguish between the innocent tax mistakes made by the many and the willful violation of tax laws engaged in by the few.
