The nut with the "Free Money" promotion


Take this guy - Matthew Lesko - although he looks like a wacko, has managed to entertain as well as inform with a release that's designed to drive traffic to his website, (167,000 on Alexa at time of writing) where he sells his books on "free money" and "free stuff" and all that.

And so - along with the nutty picture - comes the text:

If you see your neighbor buying a new $50,000 Mercedes on a teacher's salary or you overhear that nasty no-good co-worker brag talking about how he never pays his taxes, well then government financial guru, Matthew Lesko (www.lesko.com/taxcheat.php ) says: "STOP being Mr. Nice Guy and bank big money while you help the IRS collect back taxes." If your information helps the government collect on such taxes, you can receive 15% of what the IRS collects up to a total of $10 million. And the IRS will not disclose the identity of informants to unauthorized persons. So, go and do the right thing for your country!
