Notice the dates and location. A second article, different
locations, different group, follows:
02/26/1993 STOCKTON, Calif. (UPI) -- Federal authorities said
Friday agents had raided the headquarters and several field offices
of a tax protest group that has a reputation for telling taxpayers
how to vanish from the government's list.
A spokesman said the Internal Revenue Service was looking for the
membership lists and financial records of Pilot Connection Society,
but their search was inconclusive. No one was arrested.
IRS agents searched the house of the group's founder and leader,
Phillip Marsh, on Thursday. The 10-bedroom Stockton home also serves
as the group's headquarters.
Agents also searched the house of Darrell and Jill Spencer who
work for the group. The IRS agents then seized a "mail drop" where
the organization allegedly received millions, including at least
$1,200 for each of its tax avoidance kits.
Concurrently, the agents raided offices allegedly associated with
Pilot Connection Society in Visalia, calif., Reno, Phoenix and
Tempe, Ariz.
Marsh, 69, conducts workshops throughout the country to tell
taxpayers how to "legally and permanently" get their names off the
"voluntary" tax lists. The investigation and raids are part of a 3-
year-old probe of the largest tax protest group in the country.
