Now The IRS Is Looking Into the Doings of O.J. Mayo Parasites

If you didn't think the IRS was going to want to look into the O.J. Mayo matter, then you don't know how they feel about fake charities. Using charities as a front is a big concern for the IRS because it is an area ripe for tax fraud and hiding/moving money.

Special agents for the FBI and IRS and members of U.S. Attorney's office have launched a joint investigation into "possible income tax evasion and fraud arising from the misuse of charitable organization funds," according to an attorney retained by Louis Johnson, a member of former USC guard O.J. Mayo's inner circle until three months ago.

Anthony Salerno, Johnson's Los Angeles-based attorney, said the scope of the various agencies' investigation is still unclear.

That's on top of the California Attorney General's office also looking into the issue. Both agencies are not commenting at this time.

As far as O.J. Mayo is concerned, he really has nothing to fear. He may have benefited from receiving money and goods via Guillory who got the money through the "charity," but he wasn't the one who actually misused the funds.
Rodney Guillory and his buddy Tony Hicks, however, have to be extremely nervous. Not only are they facing potential charges from the state and federal levels, but regardless of the outcome, they are not likely to ever get close to ~~their mealticket~~ Mayo to reap their "investment." And they can forget about being able to worm their way into the graces of some other phenom.

Bill Duffy and his company BDA also have to be a little worried. If they really were the ones supplying Guillory with the money, this is now beyond the NBA Players Association or an NCAA investigation. This now involves government agencies that have real power and the ability to trace money. If Guillory rolls over and has any sort of evidence that can go back to BDA, they face more than just IRS penalties. Their reputation would take a severe hit. And the NBAPA could come down hard on them. Impacting them where it really matters -- money.

Then there's USC. No matter how this turns out, the longer and deeper this goes the more it makes the Trojans look sleazy. The basketball program and the whole athletic department, when coupled with the Reggie Bush issue, takes on the appearance of a corrupt, willfully blind place.
To the shock of no one, since this case has grown beyond simply the NCAA looking into this, Guillory, Duffy and just about everyone with something to lose have gotten very quiet about it. No big denials or declarations of innocence. Just very loud silence.
