1. 세금 회피 만렙 찍으려다 인생 종친 부부 썰 푼다.
Spilling the tea on a couple who tried to become tax evasion masters and totally messed up their lives2. BC주에서 ‘패러다임 교육 그룹’이라는 스쿨을 운영하면서 “나는 자연인이다”라고 선언하면 세금을 낼 필요가 없다는 해괴망측한 비법을 전수하고 다녔대.
So, in BC, these folks were running a school called “Paradigm Education Group,” spreading this wild idea that you don't gotta pay taxes if you just declare yourself a “natural person.” Like, seriously?3. 여기에 낚인 ‘학생’만 800명이 넘고, 이 사람들 때문에 국고에서 증발한 세금만 수백만 달러라니 스케일이 장난 아니지.
Over 800 'students' got duped by this and millions of dollars in taxes vanished from public funds because of them. The scale of this is insane, isn't it?4. 이 부부는 세미나 열고 책 팔아서 5년 동안 14억 넘게 땡겼는데, 정작 자기들은 소득세랑 부가세(GST) 한 푼도 안 냈다는 게 ㄹㅇ 코미디임.
This couple raked in over 1.4 billion won over five years by holding seminars and selling books but they didn't pay a single dime in income tax or GST. LOL, that's peak comedy right there.5. 결국 캐나다 국세청(CRA)에 딱 걸려서 세금 폭탄 맞고, 법원 가서 “우리는 돈 벌려고 한 게 아니라 그냥 신념에 따른 개인적인 활동이었음”이라고 항변했대.
In the end they got busted by the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) got slammed with a massive tax bill and went to court where they tried to argue “We weren’t trying to make money; it was just a personal activity based on our beliefs.”6. 근데 판사님이 “그딴 논리는 우리 법원에서 씨알도 안 먹힌다”면서 항소를 그냥 기각해버렸어.
But the judge was like, “That kind of logic doesn't fly in our court,” and just tossed their appeal.7. 이 부부 때문에 감방 간 ‘제자’들만 20명이 넘는다니, 진짜 스승 잘못 만나서 인생 꼬인 사람들만 불쌍하게 됐네.
More than 20 of their 'students' ended up in the slammer because of this couple and honestly, it's just a total bummer for those whose lives got completely wrecked by following the wrong guru.8. 세금은 성실하게 내는 게 국룰인 거 알지?
Paying your taxes honestly That's just the golden rule you know?
