Agents with the Internal Revenue Service raided an Ocean City business Tuesday morning, taking computers and boxes of files with them.
Around 8 a.m., a fleet of large, black sport utility vehicles with tinted windows and out-of-state license plates rolled up in front of Telescope Pictures on 16th Street. The crowd having breakfast at a diner across the street watched as federal agents wearing bulletproof vests and dark jackets got out of the vehicles and entered the business.
“They were wearing flak jackets and ski masks. They just rolled up and jumped out of all these cars with plates from Maryland, Virginia and D.C. tags. I’ve never seen anything this serious,” said City Council President Jim Hall, who was eating breakfast in the diner at the time and watched the raid unfold.
The agents’ jackets identified them as members of the “IRS Criminal Enforcement Division,” and some were wearing firearms. Hall said they removed some people from the property who appeared to be living in apartments above the business, and then began to empty the place.
“They took computers, books, boxes, everything,” he said.

Judge in Va. strikes down federal health care law
PARTY IN THE STREETS TONIGHT!
Yup, the I.R.S. the same group tagged with enforcement of Obamacare.
One day, the people will start fighting back!
how do you find out on the investigation? Is it public record? Has he been arrested?
Ski masks for an IRS raid? Did they plan on a robbery (that's an IRS joke)? But seriously, SKI MASKS??? Did it make 'em feel like they were on some top secret Seal mission...??? LOL!!
Some of the agents were probably working undercover. It's for their safety to wear them.
And so it begins.
Everyone knows they were avoiding paying tax, and were set up last summer. Anyone remember the Rusty Rudder in Lewes? Same deal.
I still have not heard anything on this on the local or national news.
There are no such things as black helicopters and ski masks
This is some wild conspiracy theory
Some idiot
Our govt doesn't do things like this
It could never happen in America
3:10...get outta town with that "safety" crap...its a TELESCOPE picture operation, not a mafia bar in New York....and they had guns. And once the operation is done (arrests are made), I don't think those guys are going back to whatever position they held in that notorious tax dodging scam of a picture business. Ski masks? C'mon. Why doesn't the IRS go after all those congressional staffers who are ducking THEIR taxes? Haul some boxes out of THEIR offices? Ski masks? I'll bet those bad-ass cops made those people stand outside in the wind and cold WITHOUT ski masks while they "processed" the "crime scene". Ski masks???? LOL!
I know this Black Helicopter statement was meant as a joke, but boy do I want to tell you about the black one that I saw flying about 1/4 of a mile from the White House toward the White House and I was about a 1/2 mile from it getting closer all the time. It was around 6 years ago in the summer, as I was driving straight into D.C. from Alexandria going to Georgetown, almost beside National Airport. It was the size of one of those giant cargo planes at Dover AFB, totally black without a single identifing mark. Several dish antenna's mounted outside, multiple machine guns mounted on the exterior everywhere (about 4 visible from my side). I could see the pilot or co-pilot's head and shoulders in the one window up front (he looked like he was the size of a pea, this thing was gigantic and did not make a single sound, nothing, moving at about the speed of a blimp, very slowly. Being about 1/2 mile from it, with it just over my head, it should have made some kind of noise but this thing did not. It would be a really scary thing to see coming after you. I never knew they could be so big.
The Rusty Rudder story was Jay Prettyman running his mouth and gloating about how he had and was continuing fudging on his taxes in the restrauant game. There was never any mention of the heavy coke dealing going on in alot of the local Delaware restrauants, just as it has for decades and probably still does.
way to much force! did they arrest the guy?
