Hypothetically someone could get these funds into their account, transfer them offshore, flee the country, and probably live out their life in a low cost of living area without extradition.
They seem to assume if there's an error they can drag the person into court, but if you have ~3 million you've changed into gold/diamonds/cash it'd be very hard to catch you...
The alternative is a system like Google's infamous autobanning. Being jailed because the IRS AI / software says you owe them millions and have refused to pay. All due to some software bug.
The alternative is we better fund and support the IRS. If ever there was a government branch that would clearly return more money than invested, it is obviously the IRS.
