Chapter 1: What led Sean Cowgill to commit tax fraud?
And they did find crack.
Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
They'd be different if they didn't find anything.
Yeah, I wouldn't be going to court then. I wouldn't have to.
All right. So so what happens? I mean, you're running out of money. You're you're getting you're losing jobs. You're getting jobs again. You're getting, you know, periodically getting yourself back on your feet.
Yeah, I've had really good jobs, you know, managers and, you know, I'd say head chefs, all that. But I worked my way up and I don't think it's go good. And I want to celebrate. I don't know. It's been an endless cycle. I think I kind of broke that cycle because prison, I'm going to say, probably saved my life because I got off the crack and I got on the crystal meth.
with the stuff I was doing, which I haven't got into yet, I, you know, I had plenty of money, and I was just, always had a bag of crystal meth, and every single day, I was using that stuff, and so bad that I went to the hospital once, because my heart, and they said, they kept me there, and they said, your blood pressure is like 240, and I said, excuse me, yeah, they said, what are you doing walking, you know, and I had never been in a hospital in
five, 10 years. So, uh, if I didn't stop, I was probably going to die. So I kind of thank the feds for that one. Yeah.
All right. So what were you doing to support your habit toward that got you in trouble at some point?

Chapter 2: How did Sean navigate his troubled childhood?
And I said, well, I'll do that. And the guys go, we're kind of raiding your house right now. A little too late. I didn't know about this place. I don't even know if they would let me do it. They might only let the big companies do it. So all the people at that Wells Fargo bank got fired. Plus I bought them laptops for Christmas. And I remember they go, we've got to do this in the parking lot.
We've got cameras. We're not allowed to take gifs. But at first, the two guys that were the business banker guys that were working with me, they got promoted to like assistant manager. One guy was manager and the manager got promoted to a general manager because all those people they did opened up bank accounts. So, you know, they're looking good.
Yeah, I mean, they had that program where they were getting people to open up bank accounts because they were getting fees. And the more bank accounts you had, the more fees they could charge.
Sure, sure.
um okay uh i mean did you have any idea like how long did this go on about a year before they raided the house um you know i told you i was in a homeless shelter i started doing this man within two weeks i'm i'm renting a motel with this other guy joel uh when we each got our own room and then i i started i mean the money started coming in before i knew i bought a car within three weeks uh my little 20 percent was you know uh i don't know
give people about 8 000 bucks so you know 1500 a person but i mean i i mean i've been Thousands? I mean, I don't want to say too much, but I'm off probation. I think they've got me. But a lot of them I did before I opened up the bank account. But I even paid rent on a house a year in advance. The PG&E, that's the power company, I gave them a check for $5,000.
I wanted to cover my ass so in case anything happened, at least I got a place for a year. When they did raid my house, like 30 cars up and down the block and black SUVs, I think they were. It was the Treasury Department. You familiar with those guys?
no no no mine was fbi secret service oh okay well that's treasury came to my house um they had been watching me and you know watching my internet and tapping my phone all my little i thought i was uh just paranoid from too much drugs but no there was a silver owl in the tree and the head used to spin i thought i know somebody's watching me they told me yeah that was us too all you all the little things that you uh were paranoid about they were true they were listening on my phone they were watching me through the computer
Um, yeah, they'd been watching me for about three months. Uh, and then they, I thought I was so legal that I kept all the money in the bank and they froze everything.
